Elements

Elements - Illumination - 1988 - Novus

Starting with their days at the University of Miami in the early '70s and continuing during their period with Pat Metheny, bassist Mark Egan and drummer Danny Gottlieb have been longtime friends. Mark Egan was in Pat Metheny's band from 1978-1980, while Danny Gottlieb stayed until 1983. In 1982, Danny and Mark formed the jazz fusion band, Elements, which, from the beginning, also included Bill Evans on saxophone and keyboardist Clifford Carter. The great guitarist Steve Khan, keyboardist Gil Goldstein, several percussionists, saxophonist David Mann, and other great musicians have been guests on their albums. Elements' music is a subtle, creative, and thoughtful form of fusion. Try and listen to Elements' brilliant "Untold Stories" album [All tracks @ 320 Kbps: File size = 112 Mb]
