Something "newish" (2004)...
Bill Connors, "Return". BC being the original Return to Forever guitarist (before Al Di Meola)...or so I read. This is jazz that works for me; hoping others like it too (please don't tell me it's "smooth jazz"!). Picked this track because of the recent bassist discussion and the great piano work featured (and throughout this recording). The entire album seems very strong. Haven't read up on the participants other than the promo stuff about it being Connors' project and a bit of his history with Corea.

Frogman - I envy your music education. Thanks for the melon analysis.
