Fusion is most of all a search.......2001-10-03

This is the first album of a group of musicians who had developped their careers in the classical style, recorded in 1972 to open a permanent seem. They play their instruments plus some others as alternative, as usual in the conservatories (nothing electrical of course). But their interest were also jazz and oriental ideas, so the result was a new form of fusion which obviously is not easy. Their most important issue is probably the classical way of improvising: you could figure Mozart playing jazz in some similar style. They don't dress their intimacy through full range resources because they don't fear to sound "empty". Good music is often complex and the approach means an effort; but if you surpass this first period, surely the music will go with you through many years, so it worth the patience. If you share these ideas perhaps you'll not get in panic if some experiments came out. No one could love Stravinsky's Rite of Spring or Allan Holdsworth or John McLaughlin from the first hearing, but when you know it you can obtain a great an sustainable pleasure. Fusion is most of all a search and theese professionals look so seriously for something different; maybe you like it or not, but the attitude is remarcable in an age of mere entertainment. The compositions follows the essential morphology of jazz: theme, improvisation of several instruments, theme reprise. Maybe they could do something musicaly richer if they weren't so compromised to this elementary jazz form, which they'll adopt definitively in the following albums. It's not the group of a leader but four classicaly formed musicians each one bringing the 25% of the final results. Oregon have probably better albums than his debut (it's a matter of personal taste), like Roots in the Sky or Out of the Woods; but without any doubt this one had defined the essence of their music, melting all their personal ways in the group's style.
Paradoxicaly, being complex music this album reaches the highest points in the most simple pieces: Sail, The Silence of a Candle and Naiads. And the responsable is not synthesis but a more worked composition...
