Gryphon

        Another band that is worth a look. It is not so much unknown, but personally I do not know anyone who listens to it - only progressive music fans certainly know the Gryphon. The band was active from 1973-1977. And what is most interesting in their work - inspired by early music, medieval - English courtly music. They used, among others, instruments such as the clarinet, oboe or bassoon and keyboards.

During those four years they made 5 albums (I recommend  "Raindance"):

Gryphon

Midnight Mushrumps

Red Queen to Gryphon Three

Raindance

Treason
