If you want a good prog instrumental CD, get Camel's The Snow Goose. Peace and goodwill.
I have never checked Tony Williams stuff out, I will have to do that. I like the work of Allan Holdsworth so this sounds like something that would interest me.Hmmm, Nektar was mentioned... I'm listening to Desolation Valley off of A Tab in the Ocean on internet radio as I type. A great prog band.
For some heavy prog fusion, Tony Williams Lifetime offers up some wicked tracks. Tony Williams made his mark as the wunderkind progressive drummer for the peerless Miles Davis jazz quintet during the 60's. He eventually went solo and formed the jazz rock fusion power trio Lifetime featuring John McLaughlin on guitar and Larry Young on keyboards.
Lifetime albums went out of print long ago but fortunately some of them have been re-released on CD. One of my favorites is the Believe It! album, here paired with it's follow up Million Dollar Legs. Both were recorded in 1975-76. Featuring fusion guitar virtuoso Allan Holdsworth - who's solo work is also worth exploring, Alan Pasqua on keyboards and Tony Newton on bass. Lifetime lays down some memorable, slammin' fusion with plenty of texture.
Wow I've not pulled out the album in ages, I have it on vinyl and haven't converted. I saw the Tony Williams Band at the Bottom Line, NYC back in 79 and with McLaughlin too.For some heavy prog fusion, Tony Williams Lifetime offers up some wicked tracks.
