Crossfire - Crossfire 1975

on Monday, February 24, 2014 | 0 Comment

In 1975 Jim and Mick Kenny formed Crossfire, Australia's most successful jazz-rock fusion band. Crossfire toured extensively and cut seven Albums, including a live album with American singer Michael Franks and Australia's first direct-to-disc LP. The self titled, debut was released on the Harvest Record Label in 1975. Its their best album and actually a rare piece of Australian 70s jazz. The majority of the album’s style is instrumental jazz / fusion that gets pretty funky at times. On Side One there is a nice blend of funky uptempo Jazz / Fusion.  The three best tracks (in my opinion) are on this side. These are “Nobody Nose” a funky Weather Report inspired cut,  “Freddy Funkbump” and “Perverted Pavanne”.
