First of all: a time machine that would bring the following musicians from the 70s L.A. Spinetta - Vocals and Guitar
Charly García - Keyboards and Vocals
Neil Murray - Bass
Oscar Giunta - Drums
Ruben Rada - Percussion and Vocals
Leo Sujatovich - Keyboards (mainly synths)
Symphonic meets Fusion meets Latin.

None of these are looking nearly as symphonic as mine I was thinking of making up a list for an actual orchestra built off string and horn players from prog and jazz bands but decided that was far too much work |

I know one, but I don't know if it's symphonic. Robert Fripp:Guitar, Mellotron, Soundscapes Jaco Pastorius: Fretless Bass, Bass Guitar Patrick Moraz:main Keyboards Bill Bruford:Drums, Percussion Mel Collins:Saxophone David Cross:Violin, additional Keyboards Ian Anderson:Lead Vocal, Flute It's like a mixture of jazz/fusion, symphonic, prog folk, and metal. |

My Super Group would have the following line-up, If it were possible to get them to work together.
Neal Morse-Vocals, from Transatlantic
Yngwie Malmsteen-Guitar
Mark Robertson- Keyboards, from Cairo
Bill Bruford-Drums
Doug Shreeve-Bass, from Planet X
One could only imagine what type of music that could be made.

Assuming that they would be back to their good years of course...
Vocals: Greg Lake & Annie Haslam
Guitars: Steve Hackett & Robert Fripp
Bass: Chris Squire (incl. Backing Vocals)
Piano & Hammond: Keith Emerson
Synths: Tony Banks
Drums: Neil Peart
Percussions: Bill Bruford
Violin: Eddie Jobson
Flute: Ian Anderson
Winds: Mel Collins
not very original I know...
I would also like some vibraphone but I cant think of any players in symphonic prog, although Spyro Gyra's Dave Samuels would do a nice job. Ah, and some harp here and there, but hopefully someone better than Jon Anderson
any suggestions? (otherwise we bring back Harpo Marx)  |
