Stark Reality (band)

Stark Reality (band)

Stark Reality was an American jazz/rock fusion band most famous for their 1970 album "Now", a heavily-improvised reinvention of a 1958 children's album by songwriter Hoagy Carmichael, to be used for the show "Hoagy Carmichael's Music Shop" which aired on PBS. The album was re-released in 2003 by the Stones Throw label, and has been sampled by many hip-hop groups. Formed in Boston, Massachusetts, most of the band's members attended the Berklee College of Music.
