A couple that lean harder on the rock side of this fence...they are not really perceived as fusion artists (and I know you said no heavy metal), but to me that is what they are doing.

Those are fine.

What i'm looking for...

1. Compositional interest
2. Improvisation
3. Instrumental proficiency

...Just trying to stretch the standard fare a bit. wink

Thanks for the adds.

I only mentioned it because I know fusion has become a style in itself.

But like you pointed out, it's really more of an attitude that incorporates those 3 elements, and of course fusing different styles as the name implies.

Good stuff!
From the mid-80s through the 90s, various incarnations of that group played at a little club here in L.A. called The Baked Potato.

Great player, great tracks.

Michael Landau is a very good choice to continue the "connections" game.
This fairly recent clip is not only a cool tune, it was done at The Baked Potato (a Los Lobotomys haunt).

To take it full circle, on the back wall you can see a flyer for the band that started this thread (Chris Poland's Ohm).

~Steve Lukather

cool Yeah, The Baked Potatoe was a venue name which i occasionally saw mentioned in the jazz-rock/fusion area, in magazine articles,

during interviews or other media outlets. One of the first times i was hipped to that name was seeing a Japanese vinyl copy of keyboardist

Greg Mathieson ("Live At The Baked Potatoe"). At the time i would leave that copy for another time because the Japanese imported vinyl was

rather high, but eventually when i planned to buy it, it was gone already lol. Luckily a few years later i could purchase a copy on eBay cool.

Speaking of Steve Lukather, at one moment during that live recording of Los Lobotomys he introduces the band,

such as "...On saxophones and women's underware...Brandon Fields!..." lol

The Japanese edition of that live recording was released on David "The Creatchy" Garfield's Creatchy label.

Keyboardist David has been doing some Musical Direction for George Benson in recent years.

Thanks again TheAudience and paligap for both your feedback cool
