Mahavishnu Orchestra fans...?

One not mentioned within the genre that is an all-time great along with my Vishnu's seminal recordings is:

Joy Of Flying--Tony Williams
More Jazz fusion in the vein of Weather Report than 'Vishnu, and It may be hard to find, but WOW what a combination of all-stars, each bringing their own piece of music, and Williams was at his peak.

The album features Stanley Clarke, Herbie Hancocock, Cecil Taylor, George Benson, Tom Scott, Jan Hammer, Ronnie Montrose, Randy Brecker, David Sanborn etc. It was a can't miss album because it brought so many different styles together. Williams is *spectacular* in this, and Tom Scott and Benson were never in better form on Lyricon and Guitar respectively, on "Hittin On Six" and "Hip Skip" where Benson absolutely cuts loose--worth the price alone. Those that think of Benson as a lame pop vocalist should hear him play guitar on this and some other great jazz/fusion albums..

Re: CAB - Coincidentally I rec'd notice today of a new Cab recording. If I got this right, Cab released 1, 2, NO(?)3, & 4. The lineup is Bunny Brunel (bassist extraordinaire!), Tony MacAlpine - gtr, Dennis Chambers, Brian Auger - Organ, & Patrice Rushen - kybd. What a band!! I think Cab 4 should be considered a modern day Fusion classic, really smokin'! Today I got word that Chambers has been replaced with drum titan Virgil Donati. Check abstractlogix.com, you'll be floored by the amount of music you'll find. Sorry about the confusion, it's Alan Pasqua that released the Anti-Social Club.

Awesome. Macalpine...Chambers...jeez. I know that smokes without hearing it. Own some older mcalpine on cassette from way back :\ Thanks for the 'shortlist' and reference. Cheers, mnnc

Chazro...Cab...I read that Cab 4 is really their 3rd release. Some sort of musician joke on their part. According to Azon... Self titled, Cab 2, and now Cab 4. I can't find a third release.

Upon further reading...the 3rd release (Cab 3) is a double live from Potato Factory in Cali...I'm going to investigate further. In the meantime...I have some shoppin' to do.
