👍
This his THE show!
1- Tony Williams
2- Lenny White
3- Alphonse Mouzon
4 - Billy Cobham
What about doing a show about 1975 keyboards albums : Jan Hammer "The First Seven Days", Herbie Hancock " Man-Child",George Duke "The Aura Will Prevail" or "I Love the Blues she Heard my Cry"and Barry Miles "Magic Theater" ?
Listened to these over and over and over. Tremendous. From my novice ears 👂. One 1️⃣ and 2️⃣= credit card separation. For today anyway. 1- Mouzon 2- Williams. 3- Cobham. 4- White. 4 th song on Tony Williams - Red ALERT ‼️- absolutely SMOKES. Pete/ GEORGE: / Eric - thank you 🙏 for all your time & effort, each month enabling me to learn a genre, that I had zero interest or knowledge in prior to the mighty “ trio “. 👍💯
Gary!!
Hell yeah!! Mind Transplant!!
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one disappointed by Million Dollar Legs
Not even close, Eric!
Billy, Tony, Lenny, Alphonso…Mt. Rushmore of fusion drumming imo (The 4 horseman)
Incredible players and albums ! Its very hard for me to rank them because they great, all of them albums ! The one I less connect with is Venusian Summer because maybe its a bit new agy and cosmic for me at times but still I find it very interesting. Great stuff and Im glad to be here in the chat with you all guys, God bless you all, peace out ! 👍 Louis
Great list of albums, my number one was easy as Tony Williams is my favourite drummer of all time! Here’s my ranking:
1) The Tony Williams Lifetime - Believe It
2) Lenny White - Venusian Summer
3) Alphonse Mouzon - Mind Transplant
4) Billy Cobham - A Funky Thide Of Sings
Mind Transplant is like a hard rock jazz album. There’s so much guitar on it.
🎸 👍
Mouzon was the first of them that I've heard.First fusion album I bought was Back Together again ,A collaboration with Larry Coryell from 1977
Really looking forward to this one. Anything drum-centric is going to catch my attention. Unfortunately, I don’t know these Cobham or White albums, so I’ll have to try to listen sometime in the next day or two.
The other two albums are really great. Red Alert is my go to track on the Tony Williams album. Don’t know if I’m remembering correctly, but I think Vinnie Colaiuta used the Red Alert groove and bass line on the track Slink on his solo album. You ever hear that, George?
Also, other great releases from that year. Not drummer releases, but great drumming by Jack Dejohnette on Abercrombie’s Timeless, and Mike Clark on Flood by Herbie Hancock. 1975 was a good year!
Red Alert 🔥
Thanks Alex
I had the Colaiuta, back when it came out. But I haven't heard it in ages. I'll have to check that
For me as a (veery limited) Drummer myself, the Cobham is hands down, my #1 Album of the 4 Its a great fusion album and my fav track IS THE 10 Minute drum solo on it. I feel cheated if I buy a Cobham album and there is NO solo piece on ot. Also-the last 12 minute long track doesent go over as well, because it Billy Playing Mainstream Jazz, as opposed to fusion. its straight ahead. The other albums, save for Tony and Alphonze, Im aware of,but Iplan to check both of those out cause Ive heard Pete brag about them for years. Good fusion show Yall.
Hi Pete, in answer to your question at 18:39 about what else Doug Rodrigues has played on, he also contributed rhythm guitar to Santana's Caravanserai album and played with Mandrill. He is more of a funk rhythm guitar player than a lead player.
1. Tony Williams
2. Alphonse Mouzon
3. Lenny White
4. Billy Cobham
Three much much to Alphonse mouzon, all the side projects he was involved in as well as his own blue note albums and weather report.
👍
My ranking in reverse order is Billy, Alphonse, Lenny & Tony
Credit must be given to Doug Rauch on Lenny’s album, another one like Tommy Bolin who died far too young
What is a good jazz rock/ fusion website to find all the new stuff?
Find how? To buy? Maybe discogs. To hear? Here on TH-cam. To just find recommends of bands? rate your music, and fuze zone
\o/
You got a shout on this one. Sorry I didn't know if it was AR-NO or AR-NAWD
@georgelamie7001 it's AR-NO.
Thanks for the short on and keep up the good work!!!
@@arnaudb.7669 👍
A ten minute drum solo is long even for a live album
Amen
4.) Lenny White - Venusian Summer 🤔
3.) Billy Cobham - A Funky Thide Of Sings 😬
2.) Alphonse Mouzon - Mind Transplant 😮🤯
1.) Tony Williams - Believe It
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well this month was a head melter. The five discs are all 5 out of 5 stars. Hair splitting as I hear them:
4. Billy Cobham - "A Funky Thide of Sings"
3. Lenny White - "Venusian Summer"
2. The New Tony Williams Lifetime - "Believe It"
1. Alphonse Mouzon - "Mind Transplant"
Considering #5 it would be right smack in the middle (#3 of the 5)
Thanks Joe
All 4 are great! 3 & 4 and 1 & 2 could flip at any time.
4. White
3. Cobham
2. Mouzon
1. Williams
