Why on earth has this fusion band been ignored! Tony williams played a
huge role in the fusion movement and had some great musicians in his
group (McLaughlin, Holdsworth). Albums: Emergency! Turn It Over Believe It! Million Dollar Legs The Collection ...just the ones i can think of off the top of my head. ------------- I bleed coffee.

If Return to Forever, Mahavishnu, and the Weather Report are included, I don't see why Lifetime is ignored.....especially the first LP with Larry Young, Jack Bruce and Mahavishnu John. Also, I'd love to see more recognition given to Ginger Baker's Air Force and his more recent ventures into world music. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

 I totally agree. The 9-minute "Inspirations of Love" off of Million Dollar Legs is magnificent as well. ------------- I bleed coffee.

I haven't heard Tony Williams Lifetime ... which is strange considering how many Miles, Herbie, Mahavishnu, RTF and Weather Report albums I have ... but I must say that years before I discovered prog archives I stuck Mahavishnu and RTF in prog-rock, but left the others in my jazz section ... don't know if it means anything to you ... but basically not all fusion intersects enough with prog-rock for me to include all fusion bands ... certainly I wouldn't put the Yellowjackets or The Rippingtons in a prog site ...

Shame Tony Williams is dead, he was a great drummer. He began his career with Miles on "The complete concert 1964", "Filles de Kilimanjaro" and "In a silent way". His work with John Mclaughlin and Alan Holdsworth is rock fusion at it's best.
