I just received a super obscure LP which introduced me to a British guy who played with John Mayall and made a single jazz album with the likes of Curtis Amy, Hadley Caliman, Vi Redd and Joe Pass: Johnny Almond.

That would be the "Almond" half of The Mark-Almond Band, an early 70s "jazz-rock" band that Dannie Richmond left Mingus to join.

Not to be confused with today's Marc Almond Band, of whom surely I'm not the only one who chuckled at being the only one who recognized the homophonic name from decades past.
