Insect Trust
were an American jazz-based rock band that formed in New York in 1967. The members of the band were
Nancy Jeffries
on vocals,
Bill Barth
on guitar,
Luke Faust
-- formerly of the
Holy Modal Rounders
-- on guitar, banjo, fiddle, and harmonica,
Trevor Koehler
on saxophone, and
Robert Palmer
(1945 -- 1997) on clarinet and alto saxophone.
Elvin Jones
and
Bernard Purdie
both drummed with the group at times.
Bill Folwell
, who had played with
Albert Ayler
(and later an original member of
The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo
), on bass and trumpet; as well as
Warren Gardner
on trumpet and clarinet, were part of the band by the time they recorded their second album. The band probably took its name from
William S. Burroughs
's novel
Naked Lunch
. The music ranges from surreal folk-rock (in the vein of such local heroes like Holy Modal Rounders and
Fugs
), to
Booker T.
-like pop-soul, to flat-out free jazz. Never intended to be a traditional pop act, the Insect Trust should be best remembered for extending rock's boundaries and taking the genre to a much hipper level without resorting to a lot of banal technique.
