    East Of Eden

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    East of Eden originated in Bristol in 1967 from non-rock roots and presented a mix of Jazz-Fusion, Prog and World Music with some experimental avant-garde bits tossed in for good measure.

    Moving to London in 1968, they took on ex-Graham Bond bass player Steve York (later with Vinegar Joe) and drummer Dave Dufort and signed with Decca’s ‘underground’ label Deram and found a college audience.

    Their rousing set-closer Jig-A-Jig drew them a new audience when it was released as a single and charted unexpectedly.

    The band split up in 1978 with no original members left. Multi-instrumentalist Dave Arbus reunited with fellow founding members Ron Caines and Geoff Nicholson to record 1997’s Kalipse and further reunions took place intermittently.
