The Web were a British jazz/blues band, with a style simultaneously related to America’s West Coast groove and UK’s proto-prog movement.Hailing
from the British psychedelic scene, their style is often described as atmospheric, moody, melancholy, and dark. They were originallyfronted by
African-American singer John L. Watson, with whom they released two studio efforts, Fully Interlocking (1968) and Theraposa Blondi(1970).[1] The
band increasingly delved into a progressive rock sound with which Watson's vocal style was incompatible, so they set Watson upwith a solo career
and replaced him with keyboardist/vocalist Dave Lawson. Shortening their name to simply "Web", the band fully embracedtheir new jazz-prog
sound on their third LP I Spider (1970). Following the departure of saxophonist/flautist Tom Harris, the band changed namesagain, to "Samurai". A
final, self-titled album followed in 1971. With the band losing steam due to financial struggles and lack of recognition,Lawson accepted an invitation
to join Greenslade. « hide |
