   Flow, a band formed in Florida in 1970, released only one album, which has since gained positive recognition among jazz rock / fusion listeners and is considered a gem within the genre. The album is eclectic, blending various styles, including elements of folk and progressive rock. The lineup features Chuck Newcomb on bass and lead vocals, John Winter on a variety of instruments including piano, saxophone, and harmonica, Mike Barnett on drums, and Don Felder on guitar, who later achieved fame with The Eagles, where he was a member from 1974 to 2001. Flow's sound can be compared to bands like El Polen and Liverpool Scene, while maintaining distinct differences.
