Rudi Tchaikovsky
The name ‘Rudi Tchaikovsky’ comes from a character in a Micky Spillane novel, and was suggested originally by Lizzie in Notting Hill
The music of Rudi Tchaikovsky evolved rapidly during their short existence, and was still moving forward when they prematurely disbanded.
An original ‘pub’ menu of R & B standards with a touch of jazz rock developed quickly towards progressive concert music on a grand scale, with a variety of idioms, and extended classical forms.
However, the core rhythm & blues affiliation was never far below the surface.
The themes combined ecological concerns with love stories in a mix that some have compared with Yes or Genesis, although they were not an influence.
Closer inspection reveals the broad 60’s band roots of Rudi, from the Who, Stones and later Beatles, to early Pink Floyd, Hendrix and Cream. Of the progressive stable, their affinity was with Gentle Giant, but they would have rated none more highly than Steely Dan.
