The Flock

The Flock was an American, Chicago‑based jazz rock band that released two albums on Columbia Records in 1969 (The Flock) and 1970 (Dinosaur Swamps). The Flock did not achieve the commercial success of other Columbia jazz‑rock groups of the era such as Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears, but were recognized for featuring a violin prominently in their music. The violinist, Jerry Goodman, went on to become a member of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and a solo artist. They also received some exposure with their release of a cover of The Kinks’ “Tired of Waiting for You” as a single in April 1970 (CBS 4932). The Flock had three early singles on Destination Records and one on USA Records, local Chicago labels, recorded between 1966 and 1968. Goodman was not in this line‑up but worked as a roadie with the band. All four singles — “Can’t You See (That I Really Love Her)”, “Are You the Kind”, “Take Me Back” and “What Would You Do If the Sun Died?” — are available on CD. The promising first album was further into jazz fusion than either Chicago or Blood, Sweat & Tears, influenced by Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew album, in which Webb participated, but whose performance was not recorded. The first album was produced by Grammy Award‑winning producer of jazz and classical albums for Columbia Records, John McClure, with liner notes written from the audience at Whisky a Go Go by John Mayall.
