The liner notes to their first album described the group thus: "Fuse One is conceived as a forum in which major contemporary musicians perform according to their own musical disciplines and without the constraints that accompany leader responsibilities. Each player brings in new compositions and ideas." [2] Discography [ edit ] Studio albums [ edit ] Rel.

When it comes to the Bass guitar, the first name that comes to mind for most people is the Legend that is Stanley Clarke, so we here at Robinsongs are immensely proud to be issuing the Definitive Collection of Stanley’s amazing career. This “Definitive Collection” features all the album versions, so you can enjoy the classics such as ‘School Days’, ‘We Supply’ (which was co-written with Louis Johnson) and ‘Heaven Sent You’ (featuring Shalamar’s Howard Hewett on vocals) along with the jazzier side to Stanley’s work like the amazing ‘Concerto For Jazz’ parts 1 & 2. The Deodato release has been joined by another pair of albums, this time from Deodato's old label CTI Records. Before it was fashionable, producer Creed Taylor's label had been injecting pop and R&B sensibilities into jazz, paving the way for the commercial fusion sound. Fuse One was the label's late-period supergroup, releasing three albums beginning in 1980. The "supergroup" concept wasn't new to CTI; not only had the label sponsored "All-Star" concerts, but its top-tier musicians frequently cross-pollinated each other's albums in truly democratic style. Robinsongs' two-fer presents two of the group's three releases from this unique group designed without a proper "leader." The news of Roger’s death in April 1999 stunned Funk & Soul Fans around the globe as apparently he had been murdered by his older brother and song writing partner Larry Troutman, who then committed suicide, why still remains a mystery.Joe Farrell, soprano sax; Vic Feldman, acoustic piano; Jeremy Wall, acoustic piano, synthesizer; Ronnie Foster, Fender Rhodes; John McLaughlin, acoustic guitar; Stanley Clarke, bass, tenor bass; Ndugu Leon Chancler, drums; Paulinho DaCosta, percussion; Jeremy Wall, arranger, conductor.
