Tapestry of Delights:
First coming to prominence as a jazz saxophonist Bond was an important individual in the sixties R&B movement. His first band formed in 1963 evolved out of Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated. Although they started out playing jazz they soon built up a reputation for playing really raw R&B.
Bond was also a significant innovator - the first British musician to use the Hammond organ and Leslie speaker (in a R&B context); the first to build in electric keyboard and the first to use a mellotron.
Upon the demise of the Graham Bond Organisation in 1969, he made some solo recordings and did some session work. He then joined Ginger Baker's Airforce.
After a spell in the USA he returned to form Bond and Brown with Pete Brown recording one progressive album and a 45. Then, having married singer Diane Stewart upon his return from America, he formed and disbanded several groups with her including Holy Magick, which recorded the Holy Magick and We Put Our Magick On You albums. These combined jazz, soul, and Afro rhythm into a song format.
By 1973 his finances and marriage were in deep trouble. He formed a band called Magus with folkie Carolanne Pegg, which was forced to disband before it even recorded, largely because of lack of finance. He had also become a junkie and was heavily into the occult. On 8 May 1974 he died, just 37 years old, under a tube train at Finsbury Park. He was thought to have been off drugs at the time but whatever the case it was a sad loss to the British R&B / rock scene.
