Miles Beyond Artist: Mahavishnu Orchestra Notes: I was simply in the mood for this sound...
Always Ready:
Always Ready Artist: Michal Urbaniak Notes: This guy used to play classical music in formal training during the day, then go into town to play jazz at night. Really. Then there is his wife, Ursula Dudziak. Ever hear of Flora Purim, the jazz singer? She is great; I have a release with Purim and Dudziak together. They are both just amazing, and Ms. Dudziak is singing here. Jazz vocals.
Desire And The Comforter:
Desire And The Comforter Artist: John McLaughlin with The One Truth Band Notes: McLaughlin is a really great guitarist. I’ve listened to his stuff for a while…I guess beginning with his work with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. And he always plays with excellent musicians.
Down By The River:
Down By The River Artist: Neil Young and Crazy Horse Notes: Young is from old-school; they can play. But the subject here is a trip. The mood he must have been in to write this…(He really didn't commit--well...)
Free:
Free Artist: Seawind Notes: One of my favorites. I don’t know whether you’ve heard of Seawind, but their horn section is up there with Tower of Power, Chicago, and Earth Wind, & Fire. That’s Seawind. Great Hawaiian talent, with one of the best horn sections out there…
John and Mary:
John and Mary Artist: Jaco Pastorius Notes: This guy was considered to be the best bass player in the world. Played with Weather Report, but here he's solo. Killed by a guard in some pointless night-club mess. RIP
Climax Theme For Astral Pirates:
Climax Theme For Astral Pirates Artist: Lenny White & 29 Notes: Great fusion oldie. Great band, and he's one of my favorite drummers.
Moonwalk:
Moonwalk Artist: Mahogany Rush Notes: I simply love rock. Here is a fine example of wonderful musicianship. Check them out!
Open Country Joy:
Oopen Country Joy Artist: Mahavishnu Orchestra Notes: I'm not sure how to describe the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Musically, they move in directions you just don't otherwise hear. And they are quite good. For your relishment.
Strife:
Strife Artist: Michal Urbaniak Notes: Second of two. Enjoy...!
