 British progressive rock band Jody Grind issued two obscure albums combining hard rock, jazz, blues, and classical influences with lineups emphasizing Hammond organ, guitar, and drums. Prone to long instrumental riffing and rather ponderous, stern original material, they were similar to other very early organ-oriented U.K. progressive rock acts. But they did not possess the originality, or songwriting or vocal talent, to match well-known exponents of the style such as the various groups in which organists Keith Emerson, Vincent Crane, and Brian Auger played.The mainstay of Jody Grind was Hammond organist Tim Hinkley, who'd played in the Bo Street Runners (who for a time also included drummer Mick Fleetwood...

 Tim Hinkley (born Timothy Alan Hinkley, 25 May 1946, London) is a English singer-songwriter, musician and record producer. Hinkley started playing in youth club bands in the early 1960s, including The Copains, Boys, Freeman Five, etc. During this time he turned down an offer to join The Konrads, a band featuring Davy Jones (later to become David Bowie). He turned professional and joined Denny Mitchell and The Soundsations at the age of eighteen. Other early pro bands were The Bo Street Runners (with drummer Mick Fleetwood), Chicago Blues Line, and Patto's People.

 Hinkley also backed visiting American musicians Sonny Boy Williamson, Lee Dorsey, Carla Thomas and Ben E. King. He formed the hammond organ trio Jody Grind with guitarist Ivan Zagni and drummer Barry Wilson. They recorded two albums on Transatlantic Records; One Step On and Far Canal between 1966 and 1970. Hinkley also toured and recorded as a session musician keyboardist with many top artists.He is the founder of iDigtunes, a music library and songwriting company.

One Step On

The mainstay of Jody Grind was Hammond organist Tim Hinkley, who'd played in the Bo Street Runners (who for a time also included drummer Mick Fleetwood) and the Chicago Line Blues Band. Hinkley then formed a band to back British singer Elkie Brooks, but though they never ended up backing the vocalist, he and the two other musicians, guitarist Ivan Zagni and drummer Martin Harriman, decided to form a group of their own at the end of 1968. 

Initially called Nova, they changed their name to Jody Grind (after a song by jazzman Horace Silver). By the time they signed to Transatlantic in April 1969, Barry Wilson had replaced Harriman on drums. Renaissance bassist Louis Cennamo (previously in the Chicago Line Blues Band and later in Armageddon) was not a member, but helped out on their 1969 debut album, One Step On, which also included brass arrangements.

Shortly after its release, the band's personnel overturned with the departure of Zagni and Wilson. Hinkley kept the band going with new guitarist/singer Bernie Holland and drummer Pete Gavin, opting for a somewhat more eclectic and hard rock-oriented (and less jazz-influenced) approach on 1970's Far Canal. Neither album made a commercial impact, however, and they broke up around the time Far Canal was released. Hinkley later played in Vinegar Joe (who also included Elkie Brooks and Robert Palmer) before becoming a session musician. 

Jody Grind's debut album was early progressive rock with a somewhat jazzier orientation than most such bands, though the playing was a good sight more impressive than the singing and songwriting. There's a fairly grim tone to the original material, all (save a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black") written by Tim Hinkley and Ivan Zagni, who wrench extended heavy blues-jazzy solos out of their organ and guitar respectively. 

The showcase is an eighteen-minute, four-part suite, "One Step On," that like many long rock tracks of the time go on for way too long, incorporating horn fanfares, lurching tempos, and operatic vocals (and, yes, a drum solo). Hinkley's skilled Hammond organ work — shown to best advantage on "Little Message" and the most appealing song on the album, "Night Today" — stands up well to the keyboards of well-known early prog-rockers like Keith Emerson, Vincent Crane (of the Crazy World of Arthur Brown), and Brian Auger. 

But he doesn't have material or singers on the same level as any of those more celebrated musicians did, nor did he establish as strikingly identifiable an instrumental style.
