About Synanthesia

These styles/genres combined to make for a sound with sax and flute to the fore. Formed in London, England in 1968 by guitarist, Leslie (Les) Cook, Synanthesia were a trio with an 18 year old, ex-soul bassist, Dennis Holmes, who switched to guitar and vibes. The trio was completed by jazz sax and flautist, Jim Fraser.
