MAHOGANY RUSH PHOTOS FROM MISSOULA, MONTANA BY BEN UPHAMANDMAHOGANY RUSH ART BY BEN UPHAMANDMAHOGANY RUSH FINE ART AMERICA IMAGES BY BEN UPHAMMAHOGANY RUSH -“CONCERT REVIEW”BY ANDY MELLENWINNIPEG FREE PRESSWINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADASEPTEMBER 29, 1976It’s always a pleasure to come across a Canadian group aspiring to international stardom. It’s even better when oneencounters an act which possesses the ability to achieve such a lofty goal.There are times, however, when I’m more than a trifle puzzled by the methods a group employs. A good case in pointis my recent encounter with Frank Marino, founder and leader of a Montreal-based power trio called MahoganyRush. At 21, he’s an amazingly gifted young guitarist and writer, as he has been proving the past few years on fouralbums.Unfortunately, it’s doubtful whether anyone unfamiliar with Mahogany Rush’s records would have felt a greatcompulsion to rush out and purchase them following the group’s 35-minute set as the opening act for Nazareth’s Sept.20 gig in the Winnipeg Arena.Those who have heard all or most of the group’s recorded output were probably as perplexed as I was by itsmethodical, five-song set.Save for the show-opening “New Rock and Roll”, Mahogany didn’t play one original song during its briefperformance, a 15-minute version of Jimi Hendrix’s blues classic, Red House; an ancient blues standard called KingBee, Chuck Berry’s venerable Johnny B. Goode and an explosive rendition of the American national anthem, theStar-Spangled Banner, served up a la Jimi Hendrix with feedback and shrill, whining guitar passages.As the group made its exit to a respectable round of applause from the 7,000 in attendance, I sat in disbelief, askingmyself “Is that it?”I was at a loss to understand how a group on the verge of earning a shot at the international spotlight with four albumsof original material in its repertoire would even think about turning in the sort of set Mahogany Rush performed.Following a 45-minute discussion with Marino, I was still having great difficulty trying to figure out this youngmusician. Although Marino — along with bassist Paul Harwood and drummer Jim Ayoub — still calls Montreal home,his attitude towards this country’s music scene could hardly be described as pro-Canadian. The fact that it has takenthe group more than four years to play its first Western Canada dates (prior to the current tour, Mahogany’s onlyCanadian appearances outside of the province of Quebec were several Toronto gigs) is only one indication ofMarino’s decided lack of interest in cultivating success in his native country.Asked about the group’s show. Marino offered this explanation: “We were prepared to do our regular set tonight.Basically, that’s Dragonfly, The Answer and The Emperor off the new album (Mahogany Rush IV), a couple of thingsoff the second and third albums and even a song, from Maxoom (the group’s three-year old debut effort).”“After we did the first song and didn’t get any reaction, we decided to switch the set,” he said. “I can usually read acrowd, and this one just wasn’t receptive to the sort of music we play.”Although I concurred that the group was somewhat mis-billed opening for Nazareth — a group which attracts ahardcore AM radio audience — I suggested the group’s ever-increasing following in this city came expecting to hearthe group on Mahogany Rush’s albums. I won’t argue that much of Mahogany’s own music probably would havegone over the heads of many of the younger fans in attendance. But then, a 15-minute slow blues like Red House isprobably just as alien to a young AM rock fan as some of the band’s spacier, jazz-tinged material.Marino, however, expressed little regret for the group’s show. He seemed much more anxious to talk about thegroup’s success Stateside (the band is developing into a headliner in major centers such as Los Angeles and Chicagoand is long-established in hard rock havens such as Detroit and Cleveland) and its first European tour.Sadly, Frank Marino seems much more intent on making it in the United States and Europe than he is on satisfying hisgrowing legion of Canadian fans.FRANK MARINO & MAHOGANY RUSHDISCOGRAPHY:1973 Maxoom1974 Child of the Novelty1975 Strange Universe1976 IV1977 World Anthem

tour yet — 48 concerts in 57 days throughout the U.S.People have been predicting big things for Mahogany Rush for years but the band has yet to produce that platinum hitalbum that would launch Marino and cohorts Jimmy Ayoub, Paul Harwood and brother Vincent Marino to realstardom.Sitting in his favorite haunt in the old working-class Point St. Charles district of Montreal, Marino, the lead guitarist,professed an almost philosophical patience as he readied himself for the tour. “I’m a veteran and yet I’m only 25. Ihaven’t put in this much time for nothing. I look upon this year as a building period. “Next year should be the year wereally break out.”Despite his curiously anachronistic hippie appearance, Marino talks like a young man who knows exactly where he’sgoing. Relaxing in Montreal between tours, he had been producing an album by Quebec rock-disco queen NanetteWorkman and his New York management has assigned him to produce a couple of new acts. He also has high hopesfor the group’s new album. “It’s going to be a lot easier playing this album on stage than some of our earlier records,where I tried to show how versatile Frank Marino was (with electric pedal, synthesizers and the like.) This oneconcentrates on raw energy. “It’s more of a team effort, just one lead, one rhythm guitar and a minimum ofoverdubs.”Touring is the same old grind, but consistently its own reward with increasing exposure to greater numbers of recordbuyers. “There’s not much chance to do anything while touring. You’re up at seven to get to the place you’re playingthat night. You’re picked up by a limousine, you go to the hotel, freshen up, then go to the sound check, then youchange and get ready in the dressing room. “After the show you might meet back at the hotel bar, go to bed late, andstart all over again the next day.” Still, the grind has paid off for Mahogany Rush, which Marino describes as basicallyfinancially secure.FRANK MARINO & MAHOGANY RUSHDISCOGRAPHY:1973 Maxoom1974 Child of the Novelty1975 Strange Universe1976 IV1977 World Anthem1978 Live1979 Tales of the Unexpected1980 What’s Next1981 The Power of Rock ‘N’ Roll1982 Juggernaut1986 Full Circle1988 Double Live1990 From the Hip1997 Dragonfly (Best of)2000 Eye of the Storm2004 Real LiveCLICK THE LINKS BELOW TO SEE MAHOGANY RUSH PHOTOS & ART:MAHOGANY RUSH PHOTOS BY BEN UPHAM (1975-1978)ANDMAHOGANY RUSH PHOTOS BY BEN UPHAM (1979)ANDMAHOGANY RUSH ART BY BEN UPHAMANDMAHOGANY RUSH FINE ART AMERICA IMAGES BY BEN UPHAM

The new materialwill be in a jazz-rock vein. Marino and Mahogany Rush are known for hard rock. Marino said that in the beginning hewas influenced entirely by Jimi Hendrix but has since come under the influence of jazzmen such as George Bensonand Chick Corea. “The new material is a combination of jazz and rock. I want to create something of my own. Itwon’t have a definition,” Marino said.Mahogany Rush was formed in 1971 in Montreal. In addition to Marino who plays guitar, sings and writes all thegroup’s material, there is Jimmy Ayoub on drums and Paul Harwood on bass.“There’s a big rock scene in Montreal, a lot bigger than in any otherCanadian city.” Marino said. “At that time the biggest international groups were Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, that kindof rock group.”Marino claims that at 14 he took 500 hits of LSD, he landed in the hospital and effects of the drug are still with him.The name Mahogany Rush was an attempt by Marino to describe his experience. “The name came from theexperience I had using mind-expanding drugs. The name came before the band. It was what you might call asensation or hallucination,” Marino said. That experience is the root of Marino’s music. “I’m trying to recreate them(the drug experiences). I’m trying to recreate the realizations I had from them,” Marino said. He hasn’t taken LSDsince that experience at 14, He told an interviewer once, “One day I realized this was not good — there was no way Icould take it.”Rolling Stone calls the latest Mahogany Rush album “World Anthem”(Columbia PC-3-1677) “an exercise in contradiction, and therein lies its major strength. On the one hand we have thesheer nastiness of Marino’s guitar, while on the other (somewhat buried underneath sheaths of unnecessaryproduction) Marino’s lyrics proclaim eternal love and hope.”The band’s name was changed from Mahogany Rush to Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush to avoid confusion withthose other hard rockers Rush. Marino said the confusion was usually to the disadvantage of Mahogany Rush.When not performing, Marino enjoys racing stock cars around Montreal. He said, “When I’m behind the wheel of asupercharged car, I can forget about everything.”FRANK MARINO & MAHOGANY RUSHDISCOGRAPHY:1973 Maxoom1974 Child of the Novelty1975 Strange Universe1976 IV1977 World Anthem1978 Live1979 Tales of the Unexpected1980 What’s Next1981 The Power of Rock ‘N’ Roll1982 Juggernaut1986 Full Circle1988 Double Live

Actually, that theory might not be too far from the truth, and once you’ve heardMahogany Rush, I doubt whether you’ll be too anxious to dispute the issue.Mahogany Rush is a three-man group headed by 17-year old guitarist Frank Marino who, quite frankly, sounds likethe reincarnation of Hendrix. No kidding, he’s got every one of Jimi’s licks down cold, and he even manages to

difference between Marino and any vintage Hendrix side if you’re standing in the next room.All of the songs were penned by Marino, although most of them are highly derivative ( “Blues” sound’s like “RedHouse”, “Maxoom” is really “EXP” and so on). One song, “Buddy”, is a touching tribute to Jimi, featuring the line“Rest easy Jimi, I’ll carry on singing.” What has to impress you is that at the tender age of 17, Marino not only playsguitar like someone twice his age, but he also produced and arranged the LP.Mahogany Rush is currently the hottest thing going in Quebec and given time to mature and expand its musicalhorizons, I’m sure this group is capable of doing just about anything it sets its mind to doing.***Other Reviews:I first heard this album almost 30 years ago… I’m a big HENDRIX fan this cat is a great guitarist and dedicates thisalbum to him.It is great a must have for any Frank Marino fan.I was digging through some old albums (none witch areplayable but I can’t get rid of them) and ran across this album just thought I would check and see if it was on CD wellhere it is . I’m going to order two copies one to listen to and one to pass on to my grand children so they can havesome good music to listen to because they just don’t make music like this anymore. Buy it you won’t regret it!!!-Howard Rager 3-24-03***And since Frank did pay tribute to Jimi Hendrix by “Dedicating” this first Mahogany Rush LP. It only seems fair tosay that if Jimi did have a conversation with Frank he would no doubt have said to him “Frank, my whole life I wish Icould have put together a band and recorded an album as tight and diverse as you did.” MAXOOM Stands on it’sown as a lp/cd. Nothing like it has ever been done before or since. From Rock, Jazz, Blues and all points in between.The first song BUDDY is a testimonial to a soul brother who touched a life, then passed away. And you want to liveto make him proud of you. Going through a song by song review is fruitless. Get this lp/cd now!! Or better yet!!Getthe 2 cd set that has Mahogany Rush’s first 3 lp’s on them.Sound is great!! Price is right!! Amazon.com deliver’s toyou’re front door!!

five years ago. Frank Marino, lead guitarist, vocalist, writer and producer, had a bad acid trip when he was 14 andended up in the hospital. While there, he had a strange trip and envisioned himself as Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead).He picked up a guitar and began playing “Viola Lee Blues”. The unusual thing about this was Marino had neverplayed a guitar because he was more interested in drums. He played the song perfectly and soon after, the JimiHendrix style hit him.He began composing songs at 15 and met Jimmy Ayoub, Mahogany Rush’s drummer. “We didn’t really have a formalgroup, but played for the music,” recalled Marino. The duo went through many bassists before Marino rememberedPaul Harwood, who he had known for some time.“We found a sort of communal rehearsal hall in Montreal where we played every day. Gradually, we began to noticethat there were an awful lot of people coming down regularly to hear us.”Eventually, the trio was playing at the coffee house next door, then local high school concerts and outdoor festivals.According to Marino. “Nothing was really planned, but after a while it gets into your blood.”IN 1971, MAHOGANY RUSH played a pop festival at the Montreal Expo, That exposure eventually led to therecording of their first single, “Buddy”, and a subsequent album, “Maxoom”, on the Canadian Westbound Recordslabel.Two more albums, “Child of the Novelty” and “Strange Universe” followed. The group had developed a strongfollowing in Detroit, where they played many concerts at the Michigan Palace and Cobo Hall.“We were really getting off the ground in the U.S. and suddenly there was a lot of confusion” said Marino. “The‘Strange Universe’ album was doing so well that our record company decided to release our first two albums, whichthey had bought from Westbound. Neither of them were recorded very well and since they had never been released inthe States, people thought they were new. It was not the kind of situation we wanted.”The guitarist went to David Krebs of Leber-Krebs Management for assistance, as he had known Krebs during theDetroit days. “In the end, we decided to start all over, this time with all the right elements, David managing, ColumbiaRecords as a label; and Premier Talents as agents.” The results of the above combination was the group’s latestalbum, “Mahogany Rush IV”, released in April.MAHOGANY RUSH has been accused of “ripping off” the Hendrix style of music. Although a concert repertoireincludes Hendrix material as well as other artists’ work, Marino defends his band with the following, “Face it, thereare a lot of loud trios and flashy guitarists around these days, so I’ve got to put a little extra effort into the music sothat there can be no mistaking the sound of Mahogany Rush”. Marino is quite accurate when he states “loudmusicians.” Mahogany Rush’s recent concert at Elyna’s Joker was so loud that many people in the capacity-filledclub were leaving before the concert was finished. It is hard to believe that a talented group such as Mahogany Rushwould want to distort the sound of their music by amplifying it to the skies. Marino, an excellent guitarist, and hisband played a combination of original material and copy numbers, but the deafening manner in which they presentedthe music was very detrimental to their overallperformance. Perhaps this is another group which can best be enjoyed at home on one’s own stereo, where thevolume can be controlled to a level of personal enjoyment…Then again, some like it Loud, Loud, Loud…FRANK MARINO & MAHOGANY RUSHDISCOGRAPHY1973 Maxoom1974 Child of the Novelty1975 Strange Universe1976 IV1977 World Anthem1978 Live1979 Tales of the Unexpected1980 What’s Next1981 The Power of Rock ‘N’ Roll1982 Juggernaut1986 Full Circle1988 Double Live1990 From the Hip1997 Dragonfly (Best of)2000 Eye of the Storm2004 Real LiveCLICK THE LINKS BELOW TO SEE MAHOGANY RUSH PHOTOS:MAHOGANY RUSH PHOTOS by BEN UPHAMANDMAHOGANY RUSH FINE ART AMERICA IMAGES BY BEN UPHAM
