The Vinyl Vault presents some mid-70s fusion with a European twist when we’ll listen to a 1975 album from violinist Michal Urbaniak entitled “Fusion III.” Urbaniak, who hails from Poland, immigrated to the U.S. in 1973 and quickly joined the New York fusion scene.
“Fusion III” features performances from several of Urbaniak’s compatriots as well as a number of highly regarded American musicians. For instance, both John Abercrombie and Larry Coryell each play a number of prominent guitar solos. The rhythm section locks down a solid and often funky foundation with Alphonso Johnson on bass and Steve Gadd on drums. Also on the album is Urbaniak’s then-wife Ursula Dudziak on vocals, often doubling Urbaniak’s violin on complex and incendiary melodic runs. Wlodek Gulgowski is the keyboard player on the date on electric piano, Moog synthesizer and organ.
