Description
“Mel Gaynor’s Jazz Fusion” is the brainchild or legendary ex Simple Minds drummer Mel Gaynor. The line up for this show is John Watson (Imagination) on keyboards and Issy Brown on bass. Ex Simple Minds drummer Mel Gaynor has sold over 109 million albums between his collaborations with Gary Moore, Elton John, Tina Turner, The Pretenders, Simple Minds and many others. He has returned to his first love, Jazz Rock to implement an album in the tradition of Jazz-Fusion and Jazz Rock with a production level at the highest point. Recorded between Los Angeles and Austria by the producers of the bands Toto and Yes, this opus rekindles the passion for good harmonies in the style of Chick Corea or Herbie Hancock in their electric period without forgetting the sounds which remind us of the highlights of the Brecker Brothers. Mel recently appeared on Ken Bruce’s Jazz FM show on legendary drummers.
Although Mel is best known with arena and festival audiences around the world for his time with Simple Minds, it’s perhaps surprising to many of his fans that he’s also had a shining career as a session musician most notably with guitar gods Brian May, Gary Moore, and the likes of Elton John, Lou Reed, Tina Turner, Meat Loaf, Samson, The Pretenders, Jackson Browne, Little Steven, Robert Palmer, Joan Armatrading, Incognito, Imagination and Light of the World to name but a few of the luminary bands and solo artists Mel has worked with. Mel also has a solo album out called ‘Come With Me’ released on the legendary Marquee Records.
