When Belgian-Portuguese duo Jess & James (Tony Lam and Wando Lam) released their third LP in 1969, they already had an impressive body of work under their belt. Playing a highly energized blend of pop and soul, they achieved great success in Europe with singles like "Move" and
"Something for nothing". Oddly enough, they were often presented as British musicians origin instead of Portuguese. Jess & Jamed released
a couple of well-received albums in the same style of the singles, a brilliant mix of soul, pop and psych, recorded along with the legendary
J.J.Band: "Move!" (Palette MPB S-3114, 1968 / Belter 22.281) and "Revolution, Evolution, Change!" (Palette MPB S-3237, 1969) for Belgium and (Belter 22.305) for Portugal !! Their next record wouldn't bear the name Jess & James but instead the quite adventurous name of the Free Pop Electronic Concept. "A New Exciting Experience" was a joint effort with experimental composer Arsène Souffriau, one year before the much-lauded "Ceremony", where composer Pierre Henry is joined by rock group Spooky Tooth. Later in 1969, Jess & James released their self titled third and final album which is widely regarded as their best. This time they are joined by top English session musicians Scott Bradford (keyboards) and Stu Martin (drums) and the sound changes toward a more hard-psych-prog approach, featuring superb Hammond work and some long jams, at times reminiscent of early Caravan or even Arzachel !!!
