^ I know what you mean. Affinity appear to have left their Jazz-Rock roots behind in 2011, but I still enjoy the songs in the Basketville Sessions, and as far as I'm aware, original singer Linda Hoyle is still there in the line-up.

For me, Night Flight is the best song they ever did. But that’s just judging by their first album, the only one I own (Akarma, orange vinyl).

I have an electric guitar too, although I may be stretching credibility to call myself a guitarist. Undoubtedly, Santana will be at the top of my Jazz-Rock list. Now I just need to figure out the order of the other artists in my list before posting a poll. If I wasn't into Jazz-Rock, then it may have taken me awhile (and a little help from Google) to figure out that "RTF" stands for Return To Forever.

Please do! I'm a guitarist and lean towards guitar-centric jazz-rock, my favs included Mahavishnu, Brand X, and RTF!

Me too! Who's your favourite Jazz-Rock band? Mine is Santana by a long way, with 32 Santana CD's in my collection. Maybe I'll do a Jazz-Rock poll sometime soon.

Love Beach does exist as a place - whilst on hols in The Bahamas, going to some place just out from Nassau I saw a sign that said Love Beach and chuckled to myself. Must be near Compass Point studio.

I get the impression from Greg Lake's autobiography 'Lucky Man' that ELP really knew that it was time to stop after the release of 'The Works' albums and the related North American tour, but that contractual obligations and a hefty amount of record company pressure made them release one more album. Hence 'Love Beach.'....And Greg Lake insisted that Love Beach really exists as a place. In respect of Affinity, thank you for highlighting this band. Played a couple of tracks already and enjoyed them. When it comes to Jazz-Rock , I am more used to the Mahavisnu Orchestra so at first listen, Affinity lean more to the mellower side of Jazz Rock. But want to check out more of their work.

^ ELP's Black Moon album was recommended to me recently, although I'll probably give their Love Beach album a miss, where ELP are dressed as the "Beach Gees" on their unintentionally funny album cover.
