John Lee & Gerry Brown - 1979 - Chasers

This is one of my favorites of all time. The mood this recording sets is simply timeless. Not everyone is a fusion fan but if are you will be transported to a special place when listening to this recording. The rhythms and bass lines are supported by a stellar cast that will move you through the streets of the city. After a round or two at your favorite village pub and favorite club circa '79 you head over to Brooklyn to hang with the boys. There are some really happy times and some uncertain like the late night walk through Prospect Park talking about the meaning of life. Well that is just some imagery I think of when I hear this recording that is way beyond due for an official CD release. Fate Ripper has in my honest opinion one of the best opening bass solos of all time. The timing and structure of the crunchy bass chords strumming to climatic finish just in time to have the dual guitars of Eef Albers and Darryl Thompson blow your mind. I really hope this gets released officially so I can buy 100 copies and give them away to people I know appreciate awesome music.
