2018 Journal #3: Egberto Gismonti, Larry Young, Anders Johansson / Jens Johansson / Allan Holdsworth, Tauk

Egberto Gismonti - Corações Futuristas. 1976 Brazil

Fine world fusion effort. Need more time with it.

Personal collection - CD: 2012 Bomba (Japan)

Larry Young - Contrasts. 1967 USA

A good organ jazz effort from Young, but a long way from his underground 70s jazz rock albums/work.

Personal collection: CD: 2014 Blue Note (Japan)

Anders Johansson / Jens Johansson / Allan Holdsworth - Heavy Machinery. 1996 Sweden / England

Typical mid 90s heavy fusion. All chops and no songs. It's good but not essential for my tastes.

Tauk - Sir Nebula. 2016 USA

I thought this was simply fantastic. I've read this band labeled as a "jam band", but I hear so much more than that. Nice mix of melodic jazz fusion and heavy jams. Need to get more notes down.

Personal collection - CD: 2016 private
