The band borrowed their name from the Haitian dictator Papa Doc's presidential guard and were, no doubt, attracted by its cool and mysterious sound. The line up includes singer Paul French, backed by Dave Knowles (sax and flutes), Chris Gavin (guitars and bass) and Nigel Reveler (drums). 'Tonton Macoute' was the band's only album and one of the first released on RCA's Neon label in 1971.
Among the highlights are 'Just Like A Stone', that has some rocking piano and backbeat drums. 'Don't Make Me Cry' is a real jazz fusion odyssey, while the spooky 'Dreams' is laden with vibraphone textures. The swinging 'You Make My Jelly Roll' has young French singing in Frank Sinatra mode. Twin extended performances 'Natural High Parts 1 & 2' explore classical, rock and blues themes in a style that epitomises the band's musical sophistication. Recommended to all Prog fans.
