It would have been great to see Coryell at a small gig like that.
LOL! Well, Smak, although they were recorded a number of jazz-rock / fusion instrumentals and although they are in PA' JR/F section (by the way, I guess that Smak were placed in the JR/F section before the Eclectic Prog section existed at PA, and Smak should be moved in the Eclectic Prog section due to their various catalogue), they always were more (progressive) *rock* than *jazz*.
 
 
Not so bad amateur footage from the gig last night Smile

Glad I bumped this thread. Wink Some great choices on it lately, especially Brian Augar, Transit Express, and oh hell yes Larry Coryell!  I just listened to his 1980 effort “Standing Ovation” and it’s just ridiculously good, as are his duet albums with Steve Khan, Alphonse Mouzon and Phillip Catherine.

Just found this.  They were American, from where precisely I was never sure, and this was their first album from 1975.

 

It’s a bit more pop overall than most on this thread, with some hilariously cheesy lyrics in places (“climb aboard my rocket ship, the oxygen is free” in Let’s Fly Away) but the best tracks are In Flight, Latin Dippy Doo (never mind the silly title), Rhapsody to You and Theme to the Stratosphere which are more jazz-fusion leaning.
