Marshall was the director behind a start-up label, Cadet Concept Records, and wanted to focus on music outside of the blues and rock genres, which had made the Chess label popular. This led Marshall to turn his attention to the burgeoning psychedelic movement. He recruited Charles Stepney, a vibraphonist and classically-trained arranger and producer for sonic wizardry. Marshall then recruited members of a little-known white rock band, The Proper Strangers: Bobby Simms, Mitch Aliotta, and Ken Venegas. Sidney Barnes, a songwriter within the Chess organization, also joined, as did Judy Hauff and a Chess receptionist named Minnie Riperton, who would later be successful in her own solo career. Marshall also called up prominent session musicians associated with the Chess label, including guitarist Phil Upchurch and drummer Morris Jennings.akashamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07001216479672881123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543939813106394326.post-46101779420419023332008-03-18T16:06:00.001-06:002008-03-18T16:06:00.001-06:00... oh yeah ... thank you so much ...... oh yeah ... thank you so much ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8543939813106394326.post-61997464509481561212008-03-18T16:06:00.000-06:002008-03-18T16:06:00.000-06:00... beautiful music ... that sure sounds like Maur...... beautiful music ... that sure sounds like Maurice White on those epic drums, as he was Chess/Cadet's go-to drummer in the late 60's ...
