live at the ash grove, 1967 vol. 1

“The Ash Grove was a legendary venue for folk and early Los Angeles rock, and really the birthplace of Spirit. We brought in a younger, less inhibited crowd, a mixture of hippies and jazz freaks. Spirit, at its inception, was more of an improvisational jazz / blues group than anything else. Our first shows had very few structured songs, lots of free-form going on. We were constantly writing, trying out, and discarding songs. Getting to play in a major L.A. club, building a following, trying out new ideas, and forging what the group would become… It was a magical time for us”

– Jay Ferguson, 2016
