At the 1978 Montreux Jazz Festival, a variety of artists (including keyboardist Warren Bernhardt , tenor-saxophonist Michael Brecker , guitarists Steve Khan and Larry Coryell , trumpeter Randy Brecker and vibraphonist Mike Mainieri ) recorded a dozen funky selections which were originally released on two Arista LPs. This single CD has the eight top performances from these important fusion stylists; Michael Brecker in particular is in good form. The results are not essential but offer listeners a time capsule of where R&B-oriented; fusion was in 1978.
