CIRCUS MAXIMUS Vanguard MONO psych rock LP 1967
***LOOKS UNPLAYED****
Circus Maximus was an American band in the late 1960s, which combined influences from folk, rock and jazz into a form of psychedelic rock.
The band, originally called the Lost Sea Dreamers (Vanguard Records insisted on a name change, as the initials "LSD" were considered too linked to the drug culture), was formed in 1967 by Bob Bruno and Jerry Jeff Walker. Bruno's song "Wind", from their self-titled first album, became a minor hit in the United States, particularly through airplay on "progressive" FM radio stations. This track was a great favorite on Boston radio including Dick Summer's seminal "Night Light" program on WBZ-AM, and also on WNEW-FM in New York, where pioneering DJ Rosko put "Wind" on his eclectic playlist.
In late December 1967, they performed in an unusual pair of "Electric Christmas" concerts together with the New York Pro Musica, an ensemble devoted to performing early music. There were two 80-minute performances . The material performed included a reworking of 14th-century composer Guillaume de Machaut's "La douce dame jolie" as an English-language song "Sweet Lovely Lady" which was arranged by Robert M.Bruno for the ensemble and a Bruno original "Chess Game" that, unbeknownst to Bruno himself but noted by John White, director of the Pro Musica, strongly echoed the "Romanesca", a piece first written down in 16th-century Spanish lute books.
