GMB - Mission (1995)(kickass fusion)

The Greg Meckes Band 1995 fusion release is entitled "Mission", and is a refreshing contrast to the dynamite hard rock sound found on Meckes' solo album "Square One". "Mission" showcases Meckes' versatility, as clean jazz chords and Scott Henderson / Tony Scozzaro style solong keep the fusion white-hot. A writer with Notes On Call has stated, "Meckes is a scary player who places most importance on the ensemble. His band plays with incredible abandon. A couple of tracks remind you of a thoroughbred coming into the backstrech. Greg's sound is very much his own; he's integrated his influences superbly. He may not be trying, but he's a natural in the spotlight." "Mission" is a superb release featuring a commitment to full-band compositions and an attention to nuance.

Weet het niet helemaal zeker, maar ik dacht dat deze cd OOP is (Out Of Print), in ieder geval mag iedere zichzelf respecterende fusion-liefhebber deze niet missen. Veel luisterplezier.
