Jazz Rock/Fusion
United States
This Jazz-Fusion band was formed in 1984 by guitarist Scott Henderson and bassist Gary Willis and released their debut album "Spears" a year later. Subsequently they released numerous Jazz-Fusion albums throughout the late 80's and 90's. After a short hiatus from 1995 to 1999 during which the band members pursued various solo projects they reunited to to record two more albums in 1999 and 2000 and have not released any albums since then.
Their style is hard to describe because they varied it a lot on their various albums. There are strong influences of Free Jazz and Blues, and they're going about their music in a very laid back way. While they have some mellow tracks, the majority of their music is very light and uplifting, and quite funny at times.
