Check out Pete Atkins' stuff. Clive James' lyrics are superb.

[QUOTE=BAK]
When I started this topic, I wanted to give some examples of great fusion jazz. Good cohesive rhythm that gets you moving, "In The Groove", and smo-o-o-o-oth . I most definitely liked the fusion jazz of yesteryear. [QUOTE=BAK] ....Apologies, for straying from the chosen path..... Although I had read this thread, I appear to have misread this point. I reckon I'll need to start a new thread on.... 'Avant-garde'.... 'Free'... and 'Spiritual' Jazz, very soon. |

Not a fan of fusion ("amplified cricket bats", as the great Diz Disley once complained ) - but if you want real "groove", you could do a lot worse IMHO than these two beauties, which were both jukebox hits for Blue Note back in the '60s:

AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow"The Eleventh House during 1972-1975 was one of the stronger working groups in fusion, led by one of the unsung heroes of the idiom, guitarist Larry Coryell. This CD reissue brings back the Eleventh House's first recording and, in addition to Coryell's guitar, most heavily featured are trumpeter Randy Brecker (who would later be replaced by Mike Lawrence) and keyboardist Mike Mandel; bassist Danny Trifan and drummer Alphonse Mouzon are strong in backup roles. The influence of Miles Davis, Weather Report, and Herbie Hancock is apparent, but the Eleventh House also offered a sound of their own. Brecker's solos are often both fiery and lyrical (although his use of an occasional electric wah-wah device is less interesting). Coryell and Mandel blend together quite well, and the original grooves on this set often have distinctive personalities. Pity that the reissue does not have any liner notes, otherwise it is easily recommended to fans of early fusion." |

AllMusic Review by Richard S. Ginell"Weather Report's biggest-selling album is that ideal thing, a popular and artistic success -- and for the same reasons. For one thing, Joe Zawinul revealed an unexpectedly potent commercial streak for the first time since his Cannonball Adderley days, contributing what has become a perennial hit, "Birdland." Indeed, "Birdland" is a remarkable bit of record-making, a unified, ever-developing piece of music that evokes, without in any way imitating, a joyous evening on 52nd St. with a big band. The other factor is the full emergence of Jaco Pastorius as a co-leader; his dancing, staccato bass lifting itself out of the bass range as a third melodic voice, completely dominating his own ingenious "Teen Town" (where he also plays drums!). By now, Zawinul has become WR's de facto commander in the studio; his colorful synthesizers dictate the textures, his conceptions are carefully planned, with little of the freewheeling improvisation of only five years before. Wayne Shorter's saxophones are now reticent, if always eloquent, beams of light in Zawinul's general scheme while Alex Acuña shifts ably over to the drums and Manolo Badrena handles the percussion. Released just as the jazz-rock movement began to run out of steam, this landmark album proved that there was plenty of creative life left in the idiom." Album "Heavy Weather" is a favorite of mine with an instrumental version of "Birdland". |
