Rich:

Sir, you deserve a Noble Prize for the yeoman work you have done here. This site is a veritable history of important and magnificent music which was created during a very crucial juncture in "jazz" history. For those who would like to write off an entire genre of music, they should be led to this site and take a few hours to listen. They will come away with a better understanding of the ideas, concepts, vision and musicianship that was needed to play this music. My heartfelt thanks for your hard work and generosity of spirit to share this great art with the whole world.

Hello Rich,
Glad to see you are keeping up the good (and free) music by making it available to all. Thanks to you, and all the contributors, for all the many hours of pleasure received, when most other material things are about exploitation.
Best wishes,
Alan

Great site.......found Flame-Sky (Santana/McLaughlin) after many years of looking.
Also looking for any SRV w/ W.C. Clark at Austin City Limits. The track is an "instrumental Jam" from Oct 1989.

Hy!

Please help me! I search Chick Corea Elektric Band 2 LIVE STUFFS!

please write me someone have mike@dancemania.cc

Thx!
Greets all...

Oh my Goodness, PT. 2 is phenomenal. Abercrombie steps on his Hendrix effects pedal and goes off on the second/third song in and it sounds like Holland is playing Miles Runs the Voodoo Down.
UNBELIEVABLE Fusion! If Hendrix played fusion it would've sound like this man, I'm not kidding.
thanx Rich!

Forgot to add that Holland and DeJohnette are relentless and give Abercrombie the landscape to really play some very bluesy, bebop fusion,...my favorite.
I've heard these guys get pretty free and spacey, but this particular music really holds it's form. very grounded and it results in some powerful soloing.
One of the best live fusion recordings I've ever heard.
Again the sound quality is off the meter,...pun intended!

John Abercrombie Gateway Trio 1973-03-13 Hamburg Germany pt 1

Well, it takes awhile to get around this Museum of Natural Fusion, but I found another masterpiece.
I listened to the Abercrombie LP "Timeless" about a thousand times and this recording is the best I've heard since. Not that he hasn't had many great performances in between, but this period he was playing a helluva a lot of blues laced fusion with distinct influence from both Mclaughlin and Hendrix.
The Audio quality on this one is stellar.
Live, and totally ripping. Seems like musicians break out the big guns when they record in Germany!
All time performance!

I have to add that the Mclaughlin/Santana, Love, Devotion and Surrender Outtakes are more listenable than the actual CD. They play in a more straight ahead "secular" style, with Larry Youngs organ and Dough Rauch's bass sounding stellar. The audio quality on these recordings is outstanding. another ridiculously invaluable entry to this incredible library of the history of fusion.
unbelievable.
thanx, David

I swear this CD sounds just like the lineup in this performance, but instead of Correa its Hancock and instead of Holland, Vitous.
wow, great era for post bop electric fusion!
