big fan of prog rock groups King Crimson, Genesis ( with Peter Gabriel not the later version), Matching Mole, National Health, etc. , but the best jazz-rock group from that time was Soft Machine,IMO. They were all a transition period for me until I went over to listening to jazz 75-90% of the time. Still own all my lps .
As acman stated recently I tired of rock , especially the drumming. There was a good NYC radio station back then that played classic and contemporary jazz that I listened to all the time.
Beck is my favorite ROCK guitarist. The 1st Jeff Beck cut is a classic . Did not care for the style of the second cut . I like the 3 song clip on youtube from the North Sea Festival (tried to post couldn't copy).
Thanks for mentioning Larry Coryell. I knew he passed from a thread sombody on Agon posted when it happended. Just a couple of members posted the thread I thought he would receive more attention. Did you know he was in the Guitar Trio with McLaughlin & Paco and was replaced by DiMeola due to drug problems? I don't think he cut any cd's but htere might be a dvd of that group.
