This is a compilation album.... It concentrates on the four Polydor albums (from LaaF to No Mystery), but adds some previously unavailable great live tracks from different eras (not just 7thG)
 
It's about time I order it (only heard it through the library system)
 
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

Its a different side of the band, very aggressive and energetic. Corea's Rhodes has that natural distortion sound.

Thats short for Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy. A lot of people refer to that band as the 7th Galaxy band, the version with Connors on guitar. That live album has smokin hot playing from Corea and White.

There is a live album of the 7th Galaxy version of the band that came out not long ago. It is very intense.

Sure, if it's on I'll enjoy it, and I do throw on the odd album here and there, but lately I haven't been feeling it. I did get Return to Forever's recent album, and while the original songs are from the 70s, the music itself is very much more modern, in fact, it's one of the band's best albums.

I was raised on that stuff, don't listen to it much anymore, but still like  a lot of it.

Aside from certain Zappa albums, 70s jazz-fusion has just not been on lately. Been mostly listening to 90s/2000s/2010s fusion. Maybe I discovered all I want/need from this decade in the fusion world.

This is certainly my kind of genre - I grew up with it - I lived it during its heyday.  I'm older now, and still, listening to it.  Perhaps I'm a little toned down, more of a Yellowjackets kinda guy.  I write harder though, anyway, fantastic complex genre, and completely love it.
 
Did any of that make sense?

Maybe for some 80s and 90s fusion albums, but many of the 2000s and 2010s fusion albums I've heard, where the bassist is influenced by Jaco (or Victor Wooten), they're more tasteful, not to mention I feel the genre has improved since around the mid-2000s. I also enjoy Jaco's style, and those influenced by him, anyway.

I'm really a first wave JR/F fan (preferring Mwandishi to Head Hunters by a million miles >> notwithstanding Davis of courseWink) , but the real break for me came later than these two periods
 
I really think that the funk became even more evident in JR/F after 76, and notably when Pastorius joined WR (Black Market) >> This is a totally personal view, but the influence that album had on everyone kind of triggered or provoked what I view as JR/F's decline...
 
 
 Of course before that BM album, we'd seen plenty of jazzers try out their luck solo ventures  in funk-jazz rock or jazz-funk as I like to call it  (thinking of Stanley Clarke, for ex)...

Yes. Post Soft Machine collaboration with Ric Sanders, jazz rock  folk made before the violinist headed off to the Fairports - issued on CD by Blueprint.  A reminder that Etheridge has played with a lot of violinists during his career - Darryl Way, Nigel Kennedy,  Stephane Grapelli also immediately come to mind.
hadn't see youranswer, Dick, sorry!!!
 
 
I've tried to find this, but apparently it's OOP, rare or scarce or never reissued on CD
