合計収録時間 : 00:49:49
Personnel: Michal Urbaniak (violin); Urszula Dudziak (vocals, synthesizer, percussion, electronic percussion); John Abercrombie (guitar); Wlodek Gulgowski (electric piano, electric organ, Moog synthesizer); Anthony Jackson (bass guitar); Steve Gadd (drums). With song structures similar to Mahavishnu Orchestra and electric-era Return to Forever, Michal Urbaniak's Fusion III appealed to the same fusion-buying clientele. What most distinguishes this music from that of its contemporaries was the unique vocalizing of Urbaniak's wife, Ursula Dudziak. She could sound at times like a Polish Flora Purim, at other times like a synthesized presence from another world. On this recording, Urbaniak's playing is fresh and engaging, and his compositions occasionally sound like Frank Zappa's instrumental work from this same era. John Abercrombie and Larry Coryell turn in blistering guitar passages, and bassist Anthony Jackson and drummer Steve Gadd provide a funkified rhythmic foundation. ~ Jim Newsom
