Has the French band Cortex ever been suggested for admission/inclusion to the Jazz-Rock Fusion sub-genre? The two albums I know are available to hear on YouTube: Cortex Cortex (1975) on Disques Espérance Cortex Cortex 2 (1977) on Disques Espérance Cortex Pourquoi (1978) on Crypto Highly recommended for anyone who likes excellent Herbie Hancock-caliber jazz funk with Northettes vocals on top. I'd be more than happy to write the bio and enter info if the gang decides to admit them into the database. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

They were suggested back in https://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=97993" rel="nofollow - April 2014 , but with no biographical information included in the suggestion, so it was always going to be doubtful that anyone would follow it up, and I was the only one to respond. The link I gave for the interview with the band's main man and pianist Alain Mion is now dead, but it was saved on the Wayback Machine a number of times over the years. Here's one sample from https://web.archive.org/web/20180707095526/www.frenchattack.com/PopUpFile/filepopupalainmion.html" rel="nofollow - 'Troupeau bleu' as a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mZfXa18FwuOJqJZaeZ4vGgeonUeLe8-DA" rel="nofollow - - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_k3cJnfrqELJLvI1nDEgdyWPEofMhxBRNc .

Troupeau Bleu is one of my favourite albums. It's such a wonderful, groovy album and I adore the vocals of Mireille Dalbray. It's pretty smooth jazz-funk/fusion, and wonderfully French, that goes down so well with these ears. It reminds me in part of some of my favourite much later albums with retro qualities in part. This was an album that gained popularity after music being sampled by Tyler the Creator and MF DOOM. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

another one of these bands that I thought would've been added, partluy because it is included in MMA
all three of their albums are worthy, the second being much more instrumental (if memory serves), and the third can be seen as vdisco-ish, but view it as killer funk stuff. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

^ I will check those others out too. I would think I might miss the vocals of Mireille Dalbray, but then I would just try to treat them as different. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |
