Roots: in the British blues and beat boom of the mid-1960s. The group was formed by trumpet player Mike Cotton. This album was recorded in Hampstead, London during September, 1970. A delightful reminder of the days when progressive rock and jazz seemed destined to forge a lifelong partnership, Satisfaction was the 1971 debut album by the latest incarnation of veteran trumpeter Mike Cotton's Mike Cotton Sound, fed through a name change (and logo) that must surely have had the Rolling Stones looking twice. Teaming up with producer David Hitchcock and fronted by vocalist Lem Lubin (ex-Unit 4+2), the brief appeared to be to follow the early path of Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears, but with sufficient space left over for a few more idiosyncratic diversions. And overall it works, at least within the so-subjective parameters of period jazz-rock, a genre that rarely scaled the peaks it deserved to, but never quite sank to the depths that it was capable of, either.
