The Musicians' Olympus: Caleb Quaye (guitar)

BIOGRAPHY:

Very talented guitarist, as well as keyboardist, Caleb Quaye was born on October 9th, 1948 in London, England in a musical family as his father was a professional jazz musician (Cab Kaye) and his brothers are also musicians (Terri Quaye and Finley Quaye). He started playing piano, followed by drums and guitar.

Some years ago, Eric Clapton attended the David Letterman TV show. When Letterman complimented him as the best guitarist in the world, Clapton replied that, "no, a guy named Caleb Quaye is the best guitarist in the world!". That says it all...

Caleb Quaye Band (again)

His first steps in music was a studio player for David Katz, who used Caleb in many 60s recordings, such as The Troggs (it´s Caleb´s guitar on their mega-hit ´Wild thing´, for example), as well as Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas, The Fourmost, Gerry & The Pacemakers, but always uncredited. Caleb also worked in 1966 with Mick Jagger, who was acting as producer in some album (does anybody know which album, please?). He also played in demos for P P Arnold, Paul McCartney, The Hollies or Al Kooper.

THE SOUND CASTLES

This was the first band featuring Caleb Quaye, and formed while he still was at high school:

I haven´t any other details.

BLUESOLOGY

In the early sixties, Caleb Quaye joined the band Bluesology:

BLUESOLOGY #?				?
Caleb Quaye guitar	Stewart Brown guitar	Neil Hubbard guitar	Rex Bishop bass	Elton John keyboards, as Reg Dwight	Marc Charig trumpet

Elton Dean †
sax

Mick Inkpen

Pete Gavin

They were Long John Baldry's backing band. They released 3 singles from 1965 to 1967, but I don't know if this was the lineup in all those singles.

There's an album called Rare tracks, where we can find Caleb playing in some songs.

CALEB

After the breakup of Bluesology, Caleb Quaye released a single in 1967 under the name Caleb: ´Baby your phrasing is bad / Woman of distinction´. He used session musicians, including the late Dave Hynes (from The Mirage, later to join Spencer Davis Group and Steve Marriott band), and probably Elton John is on keyboards. Both songs later resurfaced in several compilations.

ELTON JOHN BAND

In 1968, Elton John starts playing concerts with this band:

ELTON JOHN BAND #1		1968
Elton John vocals, keyboards	Caleb Quaye guitar	Boots Slade bass	Malcolm Tomlinson drums

BREAD AND BEER BAND

In 1969, Elton (still Reg Dwight) and Caleb made a private album (as far as I know, it's still unreleased) under the name Bread and Beer Band:

ELTON JOHN BAND #?		1969
Caleb Quaye guitar	Elton John piano, as Reg Dwight	Bernie Calvert bass, from The Hollies	Roger Pope † drums

The only song released from it was one single, 'Dick Barton Theme/Breakdown blues' (1969, Decca; reissued in 1973), which was part later of some compilations.

ELTON JOHN BAND (again)

In July 1969, Elton John recorded some tracks for BBC in two different sessions, both times backed by 3/4 of Hookfoot:

Elton John vocals, keyboards	Caleb Quaye guitar	Dave Glover bass	Roger Pope † drums

HOOKFOOT

Hookfoot

Around April 1970, Caleb assembles his own band, called Hookfoot, reuniting several session musicians for artists on the DJM label (being Elton John the most famous of them):

HOOKFOOT #1		Apr 70-1971
Caleb Quaye guitar, vocals, keyboards	Ian Duck harmonica, vocals	Dave Glover bass	Roger Pope † drums, vocals

The band started recording with Elton John at the end of 1967, and backed Elton in different concerts, as well as playing in some of Elton´s early albums.

Hookfoot - from left to right: Dave Glover, Caleb Quaye, Ian Duck, Roger Pope

ELTON JOHN BAND (again)

In April 1970, just a few days after his 2nd album Elton John was released, Elton played some sessions for the BBC. At that time, he still had no band, so he used his friends from Hookfoot, as well as The Chanter Sisters for background vocals:

ELTON JOHN BAND #?				Apr 70
Elton John vocals, piano	Caleb Quaye guitar	Dave Glover bass	Roger Pope † drums	Ian Duck backing vocals	Doreen Chanter backing vocals

Irene Chanter
backing vocals

Elton John returned the favour to the Chanter Sisters playing in their album Birds of a feather.

Elton John plays another special concert for the BBC in May 1970, with Hookfoot as backing band (although Dee Murray & Nigel Olsson also appear in 1 song):

ELTON JOHN BAND #?				May 70

Quaye and Hookfoot also backed Ellis on two solo singles: ´Evie / Fat crow´ (in 1970) and ´Take your love / Jingle jangle Jasmine´ (in 1971).

HOOKFOOT (again)

Hookfoot

Hookfoot gets a new member around 1971:

HOOKFOOT #2			1971-?
Caleb Quaye guitar, vocals, keyboards	Ian Duck harmonica, vocals	Peter Ross harmonica, vocals	Dave Glover bass	Roger Pope † drums, vocals

They release their first album, Hookfoot. It comprises songs composed by Caleb, plus renditions of Stephen Stills and Neil Young songs. This first album was very innovative with Caleb switching between guitar and keyboards. It even included a great piano-based jazz instrumental (´Wim Wam´) along with a killer tune (´Movies´) that starts out with Quaye and Duck on acoustic and finishes with Wishbone Ash style double-lead electric.

Hookfoot´s lineup changes a bit, with the arrival of a new guitarist, Bob Kulick, who later collaborated with many bands, such as Kiss, Meat Loaf, and with his own band, Skull:

HOOKFOOT #3			1972-1973
Caleb Quaye guitar, vocals, keyboards	Ian Duck harmonica, vocals	Bob Kulick guitar, vocals	Dave Glover bass	Roger Pope † drums, vocals

The second album was called Good Times a-Comin´. It´s more straight-ahead rock with Caleb playing through a Leslie amp a lot.

The personnel in Hookfoot changes again, as Bob Kulick leaves the band. The bassist, Dave Glover, also left them, and for a while, they had the special collaboration of superb guitarist (and Caleb's friend) Mick Grabham, playing bass for one month until they got a permanent member:

HOOKFOOT #4		1973
Caleb Quaye guitar, vocals, keyboards	Ian Duck harmonica, vocals	Mick Grabham bass	Roger Pope † drums, vocals

Fred Gandy got the job as Hookfoot´s new bassist:

HOOKFOOT #5		1973-1974
Caleb Quaye guitar, vocals, keyboards	Ian Duck harmonica, vocals	Fred Gandy bass	Roger Pope † drums, vocals

They finally split up in 1974, and Caleb went to the USA, working as a session musician.

Many years later, a live album appeared: Hookfoot Live In Memphis. It´s not a release through A&M. It is a specialty CD from some German company of a 1973 concert (probably opening for Yes). It was recorded by this last Hookfoot lineup.

MORE FACTS

Caleb has collaborated with Paul McCartney, but I don't know where and when. Any help?

WHERE IS HE NOW?

In 1982, Caleb's life changed completely, and he became a musician/evangelist. He is currently serving as the Chairman of the National Worship Committee and was officially appointed as National Foursquare Music Minister in the Spring of 1995.

The National Worship and Music Ministries was going to release their first CD, due for Christmas 1997, entitled The Coming King. It was supposed that Caleb will be present in that album, but I haven´t been able to confirm this point. Does anybody know, please?

Caleb has also written his autobiography, called A voice louder than rock & roll.
