FLIGHT NEVER ENDING

Out of all the fusion records produced during the 70s & 80s, this one here stands out for its special uniqueness, comparable to none. It Certainly wasn't the generic fusion variety of which there were too many recordings those days. Though some of these compositions were recorded on some of Al Di Meolas albums. But they sound much more polished rather than raw like this. Where Al's group consisted of world class session musicians Barry Miles, Steve Gadd and Anthony Jackson, this here is a total band record. Mingo Lewis is a gifted and creative artist and a powerful one too and it's speaks entirely for itself. The blending of jazz, rock, latin and even progressive rock are all here with lengthy songs such as Heartsong & the title track of the album. These are very speedy, intense and complex music that can rival other albums such as Birds Of Fire & Romantic Warrior.
