Genre: Jazz fusion, NZ music
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Us
Gear costume: Porky
Active compensatory factors: A great run down of the band can be found here. Apparently, this album, their 1978 debut and swansong, is 'now a very sought-after item by rare groove hunters the world over'.

Weird how that happens. It's certainly well crafted, well played jazz fusion from some great NZ musicians, including the Winch brothers and Rodger Fox.
In the spirit of the times they trot out some pop cover versions as well as the fusion - so Fire and Rain gets a Manfred Mann's Earth Band style treatment (which means goodness in my world), and there's California Dreaming as well.
Where do they all belong? A real one-off, but see The Rodger Fox Big Band coming up in a few posts for another album featuring him from 1978.
