If - If3

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. The pioneering British jazz-rock group formed in 1969 was built around the talents of poll winning saxophone star Dick Morrissey, together with fellow sax man Dave Quincy and guitarist Terry Smith. Seen as rivals to Blood, Sweat & Tears & Chicago, they were a successful touring attraction and also released a series of critically acclaimed albums. First released 1971 and produced by manager Lew Futteran, If3 features the bands original seven-piece line up, with powerful vocals by J. W. Hodkinson and excellent drumming by Dennis Elliott. Among the eight outstanding tracks are Dave Quincy's intriguing Fibonacci's Number and Terry Smith's Seldom Seen Sam. Expect powerful solos, strong arrangements and IF.'s signature blend of jazz and rock.
