Masterful composition, makes you ask whatever happened to the real Jazzist who were able to fuse fuck with contempoary and make it work. I love these older Jeff Lorger cuts!
As we know Jeff Lorber Did his first fusion album in years. I wish he did it with this group of musician. This in one of the tightest bands ever . I hope to see the original members play together again. That would be awsome, great post.
Yeah, this album truly highlights Kenny G's sax and flute proficiency... Most folks don't even know how much of a beast that dude really is... Excellent post amigo...
Lets see do I remember them clearly, out of Oregon, the group members, Jeff Lorber, Danny Wilson, Dennis Bradford, Kenneth Gorlick (later became Kenny G), I was so attached to this group that I thought I was a member.
@jazzpsalti Danny' s still playing? With who? Where? You can';t just drop a nugget like that without back up info (even if the post was a year ago...lol)
@RAMBR0 Danny Wilson started playing again about a couple years ago. He was living in hometown Portland, OR, but now I believe he's moved to Pukalani, HI.
I saw them L.A. and Orange county back in the early 80's. They were "HOT", especially on this chart. I also love the group's previous release to this one, Wizard Island.
Guys if you like this sort of Jazz/Funk stuff, plz check out my bands material. I cant paste links but if you type 'Shock Contender' into google and check out the sites I really hope you all enjoy them. I love this track by the way, awesome stuff
The solos in this song are absolutely awesome especially the way Jeff ends his synth solo. I always wondered was that a prophet he is playing. Does anyone no for sure?

Where is this cut on all the Fusion "Collections"? Kinda makes you wonder who the hell produces those CDs when they don't include tunes like this.
