In the 1970s and 80’s, a fusion in jazz music occurred giving birth to a new, more electrified and diverse genre called jazz-funk. Some notable pioneers in this genre were: The Crusaders, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Alphonse Mouzon, Chick Corea, Lee Ritenour, Azymuth, Eumir Deodato, Jeff Lorber, Seawind, and Koinonia. Though less known in the United States, Koinonia established themselves as a huge sensation in Scandinavia and Western Europe, performing to sell-out crowds from 1982 to 1991 in Norway, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Their Latin-infused rhythms and upbeat melodies gave them a distinct and cultured sound. Taken from a Greek word used in the Bible to mean “intimate fellowship” Koinonia was notably one of the first Christian, though primarily instrumental, jazz bands. The original members of the band, which formed in 1980, were: (leader) classically trained guitarist, Abraham Laboriel on electric bass guitar, child-prodigy drummer Bill Maxwell, Dean Parks on guitar, Alex Acuña on percussion and drums, John Phillips on woodwinds, Hadley Hockensmith on guitar, and Harlan Rogers on keyboards. In 1981 the saxophone/clarinet & flute virtuoso Justo Almario

The Eagles said that hell would freeze over before they ever played together again, but in 1994, apparently an ice storm overtook the fiery mythological place as Glen Frey, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit, Joe Walsh and Don Felder all reunited on one of the most talked about, sought after reunion tours in history. Newly adeed Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is added and there is a bonus DTS Audio Only track. Seventies' supergroup The Eagles performs in their 90's incarnation in this combined acoustic/electric video. Most of their classic hits are covered, from the constantly recycled "Hotel California" to the country-ish ballad "Desperado." A great return to form for a band who broke up rather painfully.

Those who haven't had the good fortune of experiencing Kenso in a live setting can now have the next best thing! Beneath the beautiful cover artwork by Shinsaku Fujita lies the first DVD release by the Japanese Progressive Fusion Quintet: Ha-re-ki, a full concert in excess of 100 minutes that features choice cuts from the band's twenty-five year recording history. Recorded in the summer of 2002 at On Air East, the six-camera shoot provides nearly every practical angle possible; this allows for horizontal and vertical split-screen viewpoints, sometimes moving up to three and even four splits to emphasize call-and-response & unison lines. Kenso's current lineup has remained intact since 1991's Yume No Oka (with one slight exception), so the players' immediate and ever-resilient chemistry can finally be witnessed as well as heard — no easy feat unless you happen to reside in the vicinity of Tokyo
