Wishbone Ash can trace its origins back to Torquay, a seaside resort in the south west of England. It was here that Martin Turner and Steve Upton first performed together - Turner bass - Upton the drums, before moving to London in 1969 to seek fame and fortune. It was in the capital that a decision was made to place an advert for a keyboard player and a lead guitarist. The following audition threw up 2 guitar leads but nobody could decide who to choose and the trademark twin lead sound of Wishbone Ash was born. Ted (David) Turner and Andy Powell soon went through the poverty and growing pains of a new band but were fortunate that Miles Copeland was championing their cause and a fairly rapid progression was achieved.

Cosmic Jazz Lyrics
Wishbone Ash
I know your name, you told me,
Its a cloak and dagger tune.
Make love to you every full moon, baby,
When the day is through.
Use your magic carefully,
The danger creeps up slow.
Intuition can serve you well,
Or fool you when its time to go.
Come stealin like a thief,
Now Im shakin like a leaf.
Screamin out, ts comin soon!
Yeah, yeah, the crescent moon.
Cosmic jazz is all around,
Keeps my feet on the ground.
Overload, shake down,
Gotta go, oh, gotta go.
About this premonition,
It contains a spell.
Stays just like a vision,
Showin hes not doin well.
Spot carved from a finger,
The witches paint it black.
A wizard tied up by her love,
But now he wants his wallet back.
Been stealin like a thief,
Now Im shakin like a leaf.
Screami out, its comin soon!
Yeah, yeah, the crescent moon.
Cosmic jazz is all around,
Keeps my face on the ground.
Overload, shake down,
Gotta go, oh, gotta go.
Repeat twice.
