about

Legion of Mary was a jazz-influenced jamband led by legendary Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia. The band featured Garcia on guitar and vocals, Merl Saunders on keyboards and vocals, John Kahn on bass, Martin Fierro on saxophone and flute, and Ron Tutt on drums. Legion of Mary was active for only six months, playing their first show January 23, 1975 and their last July 6, 1975. The music has a much more jazz/free-jazz/funk feel than that normally associated with Jerry's work in the Grateful Dead. and the set lists typically mixed Garcia and Saunders originals with a wide array of covers covers by the likes of Bob Dylan, J.J. Cale, Jimmy Cliff, Stevie Wonder and The Band, among many others. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
