notes from the underground

Due to my love of the unpredictable and the piano, “Uncle Chubb” from “Notes from the Underground” 1992 on Amulet Records, is right up my alley.

Fusion, free jazz group Medeski, Martin and Wood have a deserved reputation for all of that and more which is typified by this track.

Their affinity for the atonal and seemingly dissonant melody and key signature makes this jam a true journey of musical revelation.

The personnel include: John Medeski - piano, Billy Martin - drums and Chris Wood - bass.

COP DIS JAM

the aura will prevail

This is the tune that really made me dig George Duke, primarily and Fusion in general.
Another example of the musical diversity available at the time. Foosh is bluesy, funky, and spacy on a number of levels, and it’s probably not for everyone.
From the album “The Aura Will Prevail” “75, itself somewhat a tour-de-force of what his musical approach will become. His unmistakeable sound will eventually be imitated by many in the business.
