I checked all Symphonic bands, and I can assuire you there's no band formed exclusively by black members.

I believe that ANIMA MUNDI from Cuba, actual formation has two members of black inheritance.

It would seem to be rare.....I can immediately suggest the Art Ensemble of Chicago, who were a fusion of funk, jazz and world music.  Quite remarkable. 

My friend Mychael Pollard is heavily influenced by symphonic prog including Yes and ELP, he just posted this video to his Facebook page.  Mychael plays nearly any instrument and is quite an impressive young talent!!

Anima Mundi is fantastic! One band I need to add to my discography.

In 2007 I went to Varadero in Cuba (Really fun place and extremely cheap), and read somewhere that Anima Mundi was playing in La Habana, so rented a car and went o see them, what a show, great music, sadly La Habana is a depressive city full of prostitution and poverty, but Anima Mundi was worth the trip..

Although not remotely symphonic (more hard rock/psyche/jazz) I'm surprised that Living Colour are not on PA

Parliament's 1970 debut album, Osmium, sounds pretty proggy to me in places, as does the, of course related, Funkakelic debut album of the same year (and others).

^ they were suggested in Feb 11 but clearly flatly rejected. BTW I heartily loathe Living Colour but always thought Vernon Reid's shred credentials might sway some of the PA brethrenLOL

^ That was brilliant, I was hugely impressed Clap(and I'm a shameless Emerson fanboy) The only thing that spoiled the vid was the bottom end is very boomy and slightly distorted.

Here's an unreleased gem that I composed on
October 23-24 2003 called "Nightmare Suite"

I wasn't so up to date on recording digital, this was 
mostly done analog. I had just graduated from high
school in Washington, DC.

So, what do y'all think????
