The band was formed in early 1969 in London on the initiative of John Moorshead, guitarist best known for the blues rock band The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation. The original lineup also included another member of The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, bassist Alex Dmochowski, and drummer Carlo Little, who played with Screaming Lord Sutch & The Savages. A little later the band was joined by members of the British “Traffic” - Jim Capaldi as vocalist and drummer (instead of the departed Carlo Little), as well as saxophonist and flutist Chris Wood. Completed the formation of the lineup of Jackie Lomax, known for his participation in the groups "The Undertakers", "The Lomax Alliance" and Barry Jenkins, who played in "The Animals". In the summer of 1970, after further changes, the group included: Moorshead, Lomax, Steve Thompson, Bruce Rowland. Subsequently, Lomax went to the USA and after signing a contract with “Warner Brothers” resumed his solo career. The group was affiliated with a small company, Head, whose boss John Curd registered the name Heavy Jelly. Back in 1969, the group recorded the single "Time Out (The Long Wait) / Chewn In", and in late 1969 - early 1970, already in the composition, far from the original, recorded the album of the same name, however, the distribution of this work was limited to advertising purposes. The official release took place only in 1984 thanks to the company "Psycho", the title of the album was changed to "Take Me Down To The Water". After Heavy Jelly disbanded in 1970, John Moorshead collaborated with Graham Bond and Denny Laine. Dmochowski played with Bond, Peter Green and Frank Zappa. Carlo Little has appeared in the formations of Hurricane, Flying Fox and The Florida Sun, but is primarily known as a bread wholesaler; died in 2005. Lomax not only continued his solo career, but also played in the Badger team; died on September 15, 2013. Capaldi and Wood are back in Traffic. Thompson started working with Spooky Tooth. Rowland has worked with the Grease Band and Fairport Convention.
