Fusion Orchestra

Innovative Progressive Rock Ensemble

British progressive rock band active between 1969 and 1975. Personnel: Dave Bell – drums Dave Cowell – bass guitar, harmonica Colin Dawson – lead guitar Stan Land – second guitar, harmonica, synthesizer Jill Saward – vocal, acoustic guitar, piano, Hammond organ, synthesizer, harmonium, flute, percussion A short-lived progressive/hard-rock outfit. The album is now quite sought-after. Except When My Momma's Not At Home, which is essentially a mainstream rock 'n' rollin' piece with a brass arrangement, the remaining tracks, "Sonata In Z", "Have I Left The Gas On?", "A Skeleton In Armour" and "Talk To The Man In The Sky" are superb, especially the first two. Sophisticated compositions with astonishing and strong female vocals, superb manic guitar leads, powerful drumming, electric piano, flute and harmonica solos make this recommended listening.
