Great time for fusion...at least for me. I never found free-form jazz to be very accessible to me....Pat Methany was one of those that got me hooked on the next generation of jazz...with real melodies..right around 1980...he and Sanborn, Clarke, Syro Gyra, Lorber, Tom Scott....they tread a fine line between saccharine soft rock and jazz. Methany hit the sweet spot for me.

I worked in the retail record business from 1973 to 1982 so got to see the rise of fusion as a young pup. The older guys I worked with exposed me to CTI / Kudu and greatly expanded my horizons so by the time ECM started releasing artists like Metheny, I was ready for him. Still have many vinyl albums from those days (...but no turntable to play them 😣 ...).

Live - Distance to Here...also critically acclaimed; this time the critics got it right. This sounds as good as it did 18 years ago. Slightly better than Throwing Copper, even.

You can still find decent turntables that won't break the bank.

Pat Metheny...got all his stuff...I'll have to dust it off. Been awhile.

Silverchair - Neon Ballroom....critical success, but I've never found it to be good for anything other than background music...revisiting leaves me feeling the same
