"Back in the Day..." - 40 Jazz Fusion Compositions:
Get the all - CLICK HERE
This is a music compilation of the works of Teo Graca from the late 1980's and early 1990's.
These were originally released
under the Jazz Fusion band name "Fusion Hackers" to capture the fact that many
musicians are taken out of their normal realm of expertise, to have their
performances captured against a fusion of grinding polyrhythmic pursuits. It is
very interesting to hear the results of Teo's early effort here and compare with
some of his newer works. It shows a raw backbone style that captures the true
essence of the DC area's Jazz Fusion climate during this era.
This is a listing of all of the Fusion Hackers, the
number of recordings each these performers are on and the instruments played.
