Never heard of this....tell me more.Originally Posted by mogrooves
A one-off group with Larry Young. Here's the story:
"Richard Nixon has heard Love Cry Want; you probably haven't. The story: In June 1972, Nixon ordered aide J.R. Haldeman to cut short a concert in Washington, D.C.s Lafayette Park because the president feared that Love Cry Want's roiling sounds would trigger rioting and possibly levitate the White House."
Wild stuff!
Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
To make it easier on myself, I'll stick with American choices:
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Herbie Hancock - Sextant
Herbie Hancock - Crossings
Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi
Herbie Hancock - Thrust
Miles Davis - On The Corner
Julian Priester - Love, Love
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Birds Of Fire
Miles Davis - Pangaea / Agharta
I guess there's a common thread there

Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.
“A Man Who Does Not Read Has No Appreciable Advantage Over the Man Who Cannot Read” - Mark Twain
Max Lasser's Ark - Timejump
Never heard this one, but I believe it came out in the late 80's. His album called "Into the Rainbow" is actually quite good, but it was released in the mid 80's.
Rick
This must have been during Nixon's brief "tripping his nuts off" period.
Then this is pretty much a list of your favorite albums of the 70's.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
Oops it's even worse than that, looks like it was 1990. My bad.
Somehow with "fusion" I tend to read "jazz musicians going more rock" than the other way round, so I could never really count AreA, Iceberg, Picchio dal Pozzo or most of the Canterbury artists etc. as such.
BUT:
The Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame
Herbie Hancock - Sextant
Soft Machine - Bundles
Passport - Cross-Collateral
Return to Forever - Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy
Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior
Terje Rypdal - Odyssey
Placebo - 1973
Musica Urbana - Musica Urbana
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
"Improvisation is not an excuse for musical laziness" - Fred Frith
"[...] things that we never dreamed of doing in Crimson or in any band that I've been in," - Tony Levin speaking of SGM
But let's be fair; there was a time jump involved.
True enough. Besides which, kids these days don't differentiate between originators and copycat bands so the year really isn't a factor.
