Pentangle is a Jazz act. Their sound grew out of Alexis Korner, John McLaughlin and Bob Dylan. Those roots explain a lot about how Pentangle arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Fairport Convention, Bert Jansch, Steeleye Span, Roy Harper and Shirley Collins, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Midlake and Blood Ceremony, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
