Quintessence - британская рок-группа, образованная в апреле 1969 года в Ноттинг-хилле, Лондон, Англия, и исполнявшая прогрессивный рок с элементами джаза и индийской народной музыки. Всех участников ансамxxx, включая основателей, Шиву Шанкара Джонса (клавишные, вокал) и Раджа Рама (флейта, скрипка, перкуссия), помимо интереса к индийской культуре объединяла и принадлежность к индуизму.
Quintessence были замечены на фестивале Implosion, после которого немедленно получили контракт с Island Records и выпустили концептуальный дебютный альбом In Blissful Company. Синглом из него вышел «Notting Hill Gate», трибьют лондонскому сообществу хиппи, с которым группа была тесно связана. Коммерческий пик Quintessence ознаменовал второй (именной) альбом, поднявшийся до #22 в UK Albums Chart. В 1970-1971 годах группа выступила на Glastonbury Fayre (дважды), а также на джазовом фестивале в Монтрё. 18 сентября 1971 года вместе с The Who, Mott the Hoople, Lindisfarne, Atomic Rooster, The Grease Band и America Quintessence сыграли на благотворительном фестивале для Бангладеш в кенсингтонском зале The Oval. Перейдя на Neon Records (британский импринт RCA, занимавшийся исключительно прог-роком), Quintessence выпустили альбом Self (1972, UK #50), после чего Джонс покинул состав, перейдя в Kala, и группа распалась. Позже Джейк Милтон образовал с братом Тедом группу Blurt, Маха Дев записал сольный альбом. Раджа Рам в 1990-х годах занялся созданием электронной музыки; является одним из двух основателей и участников Shpongle.

Allmusic / Biography by Bruce Eder
Quintessence was among the first true progressive rock outfits signed by Island Records. Led by Australian-born Shiva Shankar Jones (keyboards, vocals) and Raja Ram (flute, violin, percussion), the group also included Alan Mostert (lead guitar), Sambhu Babaji (bass), Maha Dev (guitar), and Jake Milton (drums), all of whom, in addition to a common interest in Indian music, also shared the Hindu faith. The group's roots lay in the hippie community in the Notting Hill area, which was to London roughly what Haight-Ashbury was to San Francisco. Their breakthrough performance took place at a festival called Implosion, where they put on a good enough show to get noticed by Island Records, which signed them and got their debut LP, an elaborately packaged concept album entitled In Blissful Company, out before the end of the year. Its mix of rock, jazz, and Indian elements was popular enough at the time with their core audience, especially one track entitled "Notting Hill Gate," a tribute to the hippie community, which found a slightly wider audience; the band subsequently recut the song in a more pop-oriented rendition as a single. The group had a strong reputation from their live work, and their early recordings seemed to build from this base. Quintessence's career reached its commercial peak with their self-titled second album, which got to number 22 on the U.K. charts. They did one more album for Island and then jumped to RCA's new British progressive rock Neon imprint for two LPs in the early '70s. Jones departed soon after the release of the group's second album for the new label, and they split up not long after that. In 1973, Jones became part of the big-band progressive outfit Kala, which recorded one album for the Bradley's label, and in subsequent decades he restarted his own version of Quintessence.

Allmusic / Review by Chris Nickson
While it's easy to dismiss Quintessence's first album, In Blissful Company, as hippie-dippy nonsense, that would be throwing the baby out with the bath water. Granted, there are several moments when the mix of jazz-rock and Indian influence go well over the top, as on "Ganaga Mai," and no one is going to mistake these guys for, say, Shakti. But they were still far ahead of their time, if you consider this from more of a world music perspective. And there's pleasure to be had from "Notting Hill" (in both versions - the CD appends the very different single version, plus the non-album B-side, "Move Into the Light"). There's no doubt they believed in what they were doing, and lead guitarist Alan Mostert does add some stirring lines into the mix under Raja Ram's vocals and flute. It's certainly pleasant, progressive in its own way, and while there's a certain sloppiness and muddiness to much of the playing (in best hippie fashion), that actually adds to its appeal in a perverse way. They did develop over the course of four more albums, but never became a major attraction, and in some regards this remains a high point.
