I think I am going to watch YT for several hours a day hunting down things I like. What the hell ISN'T on YT? So I like this one. To me WR is some of the only fusion that holds up today or that I like even more than when it came out.E

...by then (sooner, I hope) there will be a YT channel on TV to watch all of these.
Finally got a 'real' TV, sent the old 'CRT' analog TV to the Salvation Army and invested in a dirt cheap 40 inch Chinese brand from CostCo with Roku built in. Provides YouTube channel ring on the TV without anything but a WiFi conncetion.
Optical connection to the DAC in my main system and we're done. Saves the Coax input to the DAC for streaming Lossless FLAC.
Find something on your computer or iPad/iPhone and with one touch on the screen it's on your TV, as long as the two are on the same network.
Still mp-3 but a least as good as mp3 streaming from many internet radio stations.
I don't know where you live but my friends near DC for instance can get about 50 channels free with indoor rabbit ears. You might look into that unless you are in Bumphuck like me.

Mostly Spanish and Chinese language stations.
...I use a Roku for Netflix, Amazon and other streaming.
Guess I'm just a 20th Century kind of guy, what with tubes and horns and vinyl.
And no cable TV bill.
In time, hopefully, the codec(s) and sound-quality will get better as well.
still never think of them as a fusion group, or ever relying on the tricks of the trade employed
and exploited by fusion groups to the point of numbing nausea by chops laden lunkheads.
The interplay by WR, the seamless trading of lead lines, their early then constant explorations of
sound and texture, the raw funkiness, the rhythmic propulsion all put them in a different league.
But the tunes, the tunes were what made them extra special.
Thanks for posting that, it will be viewed plenty!

I like WR. The other fusion group that I really liked (and still do) was Oregon -- a fusion of jazz, world and classical. More cerebral (if less combustible) than WR. But that was the appeal for me.

I definitely love Oregon and thank them for giving my favorite musician , Trilok Gurtu, his first big exposure. I love World and World Jazz and World Fusion like Laswells stuff a lot. Thanks for the post!
