David Bromberg.
Eliezer Adorzm.
Felix Pappalardi.
Herd Lovelle.

They had some success with their 1966 studio project "The Deep"
Music is psychedelic, fun acid with dominating bass lines leading on most songs with obscured spunky vocals.

Quite entertaining and needs a couple of listen to get into it's groove.
