WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Required Listening vol 32

Posted over 2 years ago
This album was my next step after digging on albums like _In A Silent Way_ and _Emergency_. John McLaughlin shreds it like nobody's business here. Unfortunately, it also opened the door for myriad imitators classified as fusion who helped plunge the stigma of Jazz/Rock Fusion into an irrelevant sidebar of Jazz music as a whole. Artists like Spyro Gyra, Bobbi Humphrey, Paul Hardcastle, and David Torn, while having made many contributions to furthering the genre, still owe a great great deal to these masters of the form.
