For:Fans of jazz and jazz-fusion, bassists, music collectors and listeners curious about 1970s fusion.

 You never stop learning. Just when you think all the notes have been played, all the songs have been written, all the melodies have been sung, and that music has nothing left to surprise you with, something unexpected pops up that will rebuke your pessimism as a know-it-all enthusiast.
