"Need some jazz fusion? After some jazz rock?

Now re- released for posterity, eight luscious tracks of original music from STEPPS.

**************************************

Comment : "A Group of Sydney, formed in the mid-70s from former members of small local bands, launched a unique and extremely rare record independently, with measly 50 copies. The quality of the members is another interesting point, divided into 8 groups (long mostly) and combining an instrumental complex, dynamic and full of variations, where there is the guitar, piano and synths, accompanying the female vocal beautiful Bernie Morgan . Far from being a middle sound in style, highly recommended! A great Aussie Fusion act from Sydney, Which never made ​​it to the recordings of a proper album, Stepps Performed regularly from mid- to late-70's at the local clubs and hotels and even got some rare airplay on TV and radio at the end of Their brief road. They recorded the album '' Waltz for Tiger Joe '' (1976, private) on Their Own forces, but only 50 copies Were pressed and handed to friends, so there are no signs it was ever commercially available. Shame, because They played dreamy yet intense Jazz Fusion with some Canterbury edges, similar to National Health and Belgians Cos, fronted by Morgan's wordless voice experiments and the stunning performance of the musicians, leading to great grooves and unexpected breaks. This was far from average fusion, the album has a constant tendency towards jazzy Prog Rock through time All Those changes and complex instrumental patterns, Which combine Female Pop Vocal and Fusion and electric piano-driven Jazz Rock. Great guitar work and some furious piano paces, who delivers Also the impressive few synth flights throughout. . Pretty long tracks with lots of room and lovely instrumental interplays"
