Modern Fusion - worth a Listen - Aaron Parks


For those of you that listened to Fusion back in the 70's and 80's and maybe have migrated to more traditional jazz,
here is an Artist / Album I stumbled on in Tidal.

Aaron Parks - Little Big. 

I like it a lot - maybe you will too.

Thanks for posting.  Sampled both.  The Donati, in particular, a tough listen.  Dave Holland's Prism a little friendlier to these ears but lost patience with the longish, slow paced intro.  Horses for courses....

From Special Treatment (2001), Jazz Pistols Track 2 "Odd Blues"

So much great music stated above. I, too, am not sure how far we are going back, but Weather Report's " Heavy Weather ", played a significant role, with my intense lust for Jazz / Fusion. I was in the audio business when it was released, and it was a worthwhile demo album, for my clients. I still enjoy it, on remastered CD. Enjoy ! MrD.

FWIW - It seems the aforementioned Jazz Pistols were/are fans too of Weather Report and Heavy Weather in particular.

They’ve covered Birdland, Teen Town, & Palladium on various of their studio albums and all three are included on their Jazz Pistols - Live recording.

Here’s their live Birdland.
