Musicianship. In this era, there were people who maintained a tradition of discipline and held onto standards. Miles was, and is, the standard by which. This music stands the test of time, as any great art does. Miles was a great influence on a lot of great people. You can have blues without jazz, but you can never have jazz without blues. All good music has some blues in it. It is the vehicle by which musicians express themselves.
If you listen to most pop/rock of the 70s, you'd flee screaming. But then there was stuff like this. My brother and I would listen to Miles' Bitches Brew, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Larry Coryell, Weather Report, and this. There was a lot of beautiful, adventurous music being produced.
@FALKHET "Album" aka "Vinyl" or "Record" (noun) Inferior-quality analogue audio recording media that evokes a strong nostalgic response in many who remember the time prior to the 1980s (and a few who don't).
Maybe you can help me find a band from the 70's or 80's, Maybe their name was Isthaca or Yathaca???? I think they we not to famous but put out one album that was very Jazzy/Samba fusion, wild man! If any one knows what iam talking about help me find them. By the way so very much thanks for this vid, It takes me back and more LOVE IT!!!!
@FALKHET CD shit man you should have seen the album back in the 70 Freaging A+, Albums were an enjoyment on their own, not putting down CDs but nothing to compare, but he feeling was more personal with albums
Probably one of the greatest Jazz Fusion groups ever.....and album as well! Never has their been a caliber of musicians like this,the music is genius and pure MAGIC!
Incredible group of musicians...It changed my life forever and introduced me to jazz-fusion. This particular album changed the face of what this kind of music can and should be. Very sophisticated music for the day and even by todays standards. This album will live on Forever ;)
en el año 1976,escuche por primera vez , a estos maestros,hoy como tantas veces, al oirlos , sigo pensando que ,siempre estaran vigentes,esta musica es eterna ,maravillosamente eterna........................
Romantic Warrior was the most important Jazz album of its day and here is why: It was the very first to open Jazz fusion on a large scale. Those who liked Jazz, Funk, Rock and even Disco were drawn to this most universal of works.
This album that began the era of popular, New York based Jazz. From 1976 to '83 acts like RTF, G Benson, H Hancock, Weather Report, Manhattan Transfer and many others crossed from great Jazz to pop music with uncanny ease. This album opened the door for it all.
@dal4018 I really wouldn't know if they were influenced by Hendrix. Hendrix's music was rootede more in blues than by jazz. In this album, I personally don't hear a lot of blues influence.
Beautiful electric piano. And tight drums. And solid bass. And funky guitars. Jeez, I'm surprised the world didn't implode after these guys started writing music.
best fusion evar !!!!!! This entire album rocks.

5:25 to 6:40, what a 1-1/4 minute of music. The song ends on a Jeff Beck note to me.
