This 2005 piece came to me while in church, and it has a “straight-8’s” rhythmic feel. Brent told me that it reminded him of some of Vince Guaraldi’s composing for “Peanuts”! On the day of the record- It has been a fantastic journey to bring these songs to life and I’ve enjoyed the challenge immensely. Working ing, Brent wrote a fabulous 16-bar chord sequence as an interlude at the conclusion of each solo, together with Simon, I meticulously assembled the stellar teams of professionals, both in front of and behind and presented it to us moments before recording it, which we ran through and incorporated. Alex’s the microphones, that has led to the music we place before you. From the emotional message to the caring alto fute and Brent’s vibraphone blend nicely on the melody. attention to detail and enthusiasm we both encountered in all of the varied instrumental settings we hope you will delight in here, there has been a great camaraderie in all facets of production.

I have remained in contact with both Brent and Clare’s wife Donna since bass clarinet and guest Ken Peplowski on clarinet. then, but sadly, Clare’s health was already in decline and he died in 2012.

    XII. Fighting Against Fusion 1974-1990

    XII. Fighting Against Fusion (1974-1990) For a few years, it seemed as if the whole jazz world had gone fusion-crazy, at least those who wished a large commercial success. Brothers Randy and Michael Brecker, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and George Benson were only a few of the many musicians who dipped a toe—or a whole foot—into its murky waters. Even Ornette Coleman, with his new band Prime Time, gave us his version of fusion with the album Dancing in Your Head. In the early 1980s George Russell gave us his funk-fusion take on The African Game, and even Mingus, one of the music’s greatest foes, was pushed into something close to fusion when his label at the time (Atlantic) forced a couple of electric guitarists on him in the album Three or Four Shades of Blue. When Mingus heard the final mix on this album, he called up Atlantic’s Nesuhi Ertegun and gave him hell for issuing such a “crappy” record, but the incredibly high sales figures for that LP—the best selling of Mingus’ entire career—mollified him, especially when he learned that the funds raised by this album gave him the opportunity to record one of his greatest masterpieces, the Cumbia & Jazz Fusion album, which sold hardly at all. And, of course, this was always the argument the record companies used when coerc- ing musicians into fusion. It sold. Very well. And in doing so, it sometimes—depending on the artistic proclivities of the label’s owner—gave them the opportunity to record better music that didn’t sell as much.
