Music reviews of Group 87
Music Review: The Future of Fusion
Rating: 5 Stars
When Group 87's eponymous debut album was released in 1980, virtually no one knew how to categorize it. Not exactly jazz, not exactly rock, not exactly new age or new wave, this talented trio (with help from ex-Zappa drummer Terry Bozzio) forged a dynamic fusion of all the above. The album's fastidious production belies its artful craftmanship and the clever arrangements, all of which are sculpted out of the icy sheen of richly textured keyboards, metallic-edged guitars, sinewy but pulsating bass and exploding percussion. Mark Isham's flawless synthesizer programming and minimal but tasteful brass charts form the bedrock upon which Peter Manu's fiery guitar leads and Patrick O'hearn's liquid bass lines spiral and soar like graceful birds in flight. It's as if one were to marry the passionate emotional intensity of jazz with the cold mechanical precision of electronic music; alternately, imagine the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Tangerine Dream fused into an organic whole. There's hardly a wasted track here, but among the numerous highlights are "Future of the City," "Magnificent Clockworks" and "Moving Sidewalks." Imagine it as one possible future of jazz that was never realized.
