joe's jazz club

^^Heavy Weather is my pick of their albums Sal.

Here's a good band, although many purists decried them as fluff and not worthy of any serious Jazz/rock/fusion fan. I personally think their debut album is one of the best for the "Morning After" a night of excess.

Spyro Gyra, "Morning Dance", also one of the most beautiful album covers I have ever owned, the Nautilus Superdisc I used to have was worthy of hanging on the wall in a nice frame.

top notch Jazz Fushion from 1971...enjoy!

Thanx for stopping by joe's place LG and Magic. Next time, a drink on the house.

Heavy Weather is my fav. as well LG. I must admit I've never heard Spyro Gyra. The video was disabled from youtube. Damn those bastards

Mahavsihnu Orchestra is one fav. jazz-rock fusion artists Magic. Thier first two albums are ***** stars.

whooooaaa.. This is killer.

It took me 10 minutes of listening to realise how underrated a guitarist John McLaughlin is. Mahavishnu are another band I'm working my way around. But for now, let's enjoy the smooth sounds of Steely Dan:

Cool and smooth is Steely Dan.***: Man oh man, did they ever put out fantastic albums through out the 70's. Not one bad release.

Replaced the Youtube vid in the Spyro Gyra post I made Joe...this one works.

Sal you might like Birds of Fire, it is a little more accessible album by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, that and Inner Mounting Flame are considered their masterpieces.

Steely Dan, I have a thread for them and I own every album except the newest studio one "Two Against Nature" I believe it's called. I've been a fan of theirs since Can't Buy A Thrill was released in the early 70's.

Wow! More great music here at joe's last night.

We had some of the legends show up and put in some fantastic performances.

However we had a bit of a melee down here last night."The Situation" got out of hand. He took his shirt off to try and impress the ladies. I asked him politely twice to put it back on. Then he started groping my waitress jo jo. That was the final straw. I drove his head into the table and then got him into a choke hold and rifled his ass outside and give him a lickin'. What a hammerhead

To get us started off tonight we have a unique band fusing jazz with prog/metal. I flew these guys in personally from Germany. Some of you might recognize guitarist Wolfgang Zenk from Sieges Even. With three albums to thier credit, I give you 7 For 4:

Thanx for that LG. Spyro Gyra sound good. I guess you could label them as more of a poppier jazz(?). The sound similar to the Yellowjackets which I have booked BTW.

joe's would be more than happy to have them back for an extended jam session.

 

[LG]

You are right Joe, they are just a fun lighthearted band and that album always makes me feel good when I play it.
