Title: WAY BACK WHEN
Product review: IN THE 1970'S, THESE MUSICIANS HELPED TO DEFINE WHAT WE USED TO CALL FUSION MUSIC. AND THE ARTISTS ON THIS CD WERE SOME ITS' BIGGEST PROPONENTS. HOW CAN YOU GO WRONG WITH A CD THAT HAS CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS LIKE AIRTO MOREIRA (A FOUNDING MEMBER OF WEATHER REPORT), CHICK COREA, STANLEY CLARKE (HALF OF THE GROUP RETURN TO FOREVER), HERBIE HANCOCK, FLORA PURIM (AIRTO'S WIFE, A VOCALIST WITH A FOUR OCTAVE RANGE), HIRAM BULLOCK (A STUDIO MAINSTAY FOR WELL OVER TWENTY YEARS), AND OTHERS. THESE ARTISTS WERE INTERESTED IN STRETCHING THE BOUNDARIES OF JAZZ WITH ELECTRONIC SOUNDS, DIFFERENT TIME CHANGES, AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT SOUNDING PERCUSSION. THIS IS WHAT COULD BE CALLED AVANTE GARDE, SORT OF FREEFORM JAZZ. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A JAZZ CD BASED ON EIGHT BAR BLUES, THIS IS NOT IT. THIS IS MORE "MOOD MUSIC". THIS CD IS REMNISCENT OF EARLY WEATHER REPORT RECORDINGS.
