High Energy Design (1981)
---12/28/18
New Jazz Quintet play an excellent late 70's / early 80's styled fusion, that is highly melodic, and features great guitar and synthesizer work. I'll put a feature post up eventually.
---4/15/25
And six plus years later that promise has now been fulfilled. From New Orleans, New Jazz Quintet play a spirited instrumental fusion with guitar and synthesizers in the lead. In fact the band sports two lead electric guitarists giving them a distinctive edge. The synthesizers are from the 70s Moog school of soloing even if they are different brands. 'From the Depths' sounds like a Richard Pinhas interlude from Chronolyse. 'The Ozone Layer' recalls Mahavishnu Orchestra at their most fiery. There are seven tracks and every one of them is a winner, no duds here.
