Quintessence was among the first true progressive rock outfits signed by Island Records. Led by Australian-born Shiva Shanka Jones (keyboards, vocals) and Raja Ram (flute, violin, percussion), the group also included Alan Mostert (lead guitar),Sambhu Babajli (bass), Maha Dev (guitar), and Jake Milton (drums), all of whom, in addition to a common interest in Indian music, also shared the Hindu faith. The group's roots lay in the hippie community in the Notting Hill area, which was to London roughly what Haight-Ashbury was to San Francisco. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintessence_(English_band)
