The Graham Bond Organisation was a pioneering British blues and jazz-rock band active from 1963 to 1967. Fronted by multi-instrumentalist Graham Bond, the group featured future legends Jack Bruce on bass, Ginger Baker on drums, and Dick Heckstall-Smith on saxophone. They were among the first to integrate the Hammond organ and Mellotron into rock music, influencing countless artists. Their dynamic performances and innovative sound laid the groundwork for bands like Cream and Colosseum. Notable releases include "The Sound of '65" and "There's a Bond Between Us," both showcasing their fusion of blues, jazz, and rock.
