Alan Jack Civilization - Psych Blues Rock (France)


Alan Jack Civilization is one of the many formations of Jacques Braud. Born in 1969 in Tours after Alan Jack Group's decision and his will to play with Richard Fontaine (bass), the duo recruits Claude Olmos (Guit) and Jean Falissard (Drums) to perform immediately in Paris at La Locomotive , Golf Drouot (with the Variations) and the Alhambra. Everything is linked very quickly since 15 days after training the group records the album "Bluesy mind" which imposes with talent are rock bluesy under English infusion between Cream and Cactus. The time to release a 45t, to enter the studio again for a new opus and Alan's comet is consumed in 1970, marked by the release of a last SP in French with other musicians, including two future Martin Circus, Alain Pewzner and René Guérin. Note that the album and their two 45t came out at BYG, a jazz label that diversified into rock and prog.

Alan Jack was an organist, pianist, composer and singer of (primarily) French blues. Jack fronted several different band over his career, including Alan Jack Civilization from 1969-1970. The band only ever released one album, 1969’s Bluesy Mind. The excellent “What You’re Gonna Say” can be found on this album. Jack passed away in 1995 at the age of 51.
