Alzo & Udine used to play in a band called the Insanities, but when the band split up, they formed a duo (what happened to duos?) and took the name Alzo & Udine. They made one record for Mercury in 1968, opened for The Association, and then called it quits. Alzo was rediscovered in the Ampex Tape mail room in 1970, and went on to record a solo album that also got lost in the record bin when the label folded. Both albums have since been rediscovered by collectors. I just got the Alzo & Udine record at Dusty Groove and it has been my favorite of the summer so far. It reminds me of a cross between seventies soft rock giants like Bread and America with some of the jazzier things happening on records like Love’s “Forever Changes.” But really, the most salient point is that it’s impossible not to get happy when you hear these songs, and that’s what summer records are all about.
