My introduction to fusion jazz came when I was in my teens and I first heard Jean Luc Ponty and his magical, amazing electric violin... this is timeless... 20+ years later, I STILL love this tune... Here is Jean Luc Ponty ~ Cosmic Messenger
That Ponty song reminds me of one by Avant-garde Rockers, Roxy Music. Featuring vocals from Bryan Ferry and electric violin by Eddie Jobson, this is " Out Of The Blue " . Only they could do a rock tune with an Oboe and Electric Violin.
When I was a kid, I had this next tune on a 45 ( remember them ? ) . I played it until the grooves were almost gone. This is Jerry Corbetta with his group Sugarloaf performing " Green Eyed Lady "
I was looking for a tune from Tangerine Dream to place here... since I've had fond thoughts of them in the past. I bought their albums, partly because I loved their tunes, and partly because their vinyl always came in different colors than black and it was always a surprise. I had a yellow one, an orange one, a green one, and a white one. It was the coolest thing EVER at the time.
There are CD's now, no more colorful vinyl, but I still got a surprise...
Here is a cover tune of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"... preformed by Tangerine Dream.
It rocked my socks off! Enjoy!
