Album: Tale of the Whale (1979)
Genre: Jazz Rock Fusion (Prog Rock) / USA
3rd album by the excellent instrumental US Jazz-Rock Fusion nonet Matrix, which continued the tradition of early 1970s brass influenced Fusion bands like Blood, Sweat & Tears, Chicago, Dreams and Chase. Led by keyboardist John Harmon, who wrote and arranged most of the band's material, the band also included trumpeters Larry Darling, Kurt Dietrich, Mike Hale and Jeff Pietragelo, saxophonist John Kirchberger, trombonist Brad McDougall, superb bassist Randy Tico and drummer Mike Murphy. They played very interesting composition, elegantly arranged for the brass section, which was supported by a brilliant rhythm section. The band never received the appropriate exposure at the time, and therefore their recordings true hidden gems of the genre. This reissue brings them back to life, which is a great opportunity to get familiar with their output, as it is definitely some of the 1970s Fusion ever made. Most warmly recommended!
