Dr. Z - Three Parts To My Soul (Spiritus, Manes Et Umbra) CD 71 01 -cc

COLLECTOR'S CHOICE:  Lot's to say on this one from Discogs:  Keith Keyes, the leader, vocalist and composer of all the group's material has a Doctorate degree in music. One of his main interests is composition and besides writing the music which Dr. Z plays, he also composes straight music including a recent cantata performed on television. His interest in Pop began when he was a student at Oxford and led eventually to his forming Dr. Z just over two years ago. Both his composition and keyboard styles show classical influences, though his personal style of Pop is neither eclectic nor plagiaristic, but serves as a highly individualistic medium for the playing of the three musicians in Dr. Z .

Bob Watkins, the drummer and percussionist, first had drumming lessons at the age of eleven, and subsequently played all styles of music from symphonic orchestral music to the theatre pit-band and Pop. Some of the main influences on his playing have been the Big Band Jazz sound of Buddy Rich and in Pop the drumming of Bobby Colomby. Between 1967 and 1970 he was at University where he graduated with an Honours degree in Geography. It was there, whilst taking part in University musico-dramatic productions that he met the other musicians who were to form Dr. Z. in

1969. Since leaving university Bob Watkins (apart from playing with Dr. Z.) has devoted a year to developing and improving his already highly proficient drumming technique, an example of which appears in the drum-cadenza in the title track of the L. P. - "Spiritus Manes et Umbra"

The last member of Dr Z. is Bob Watson, one time mortuary attendant, computer operator and plumbers mate. Rob, has an Honours degree in Chemistry and is also a fully qualified scientific librarian. Increasingly during the past two years since joining Dr. Z. he has exchanged the quiet of the reading room for the excitement and concentration of the stage and recording studios. Rob, who can play lead and piano when required, provides the inventive and controlled bass which underpins the structural drumming and keyboard playing in the sound of Dr. Z.
