FUSION - VINYL TOP SOUL [VINYL]

Popis - TOP SOUL [VINYL]:
Limited edition of 500 copies on 180-gram vinyl. The bi-lingual insert explores Fusion in the context of the rich Chilean music scene. An impossible to find jazz/soul/funk monster by Fusion, issued in Chile in 1975 by ALBA. This is a fulsome combination of funk, electric jazz and soul, with Latin roots. Bassist Enrique Luna had lived and studied art in New York, and knew first-hand the last, avant-garde years of John Coltrane, and Miles Davis' mutation from hard bop trendsetter into an electric jazz pioneer. Matias Pizarro had appeared on the scene in the mid-'60s as a young pianist of outstanding technical ability and advanced ideas. Together they formed a band around a core of Peruvian musicians. Censorship during the Chilean military regime meant heavy restrictions on artists. Thus the Fusion album was pressed in a very limited quantity, and never legally re-issued-until now!
