I second the emotion on Greyboy's Land of the Lost, but check other
tracks on the album of that name, not just the title track. All nice
down-tempo stuff. And no one mentioned Phil Bent who's already there on
some stuff--check the album "The Pressure" (93, GRP) especially his cover
of "The World Is a Ghetto." I just really like that track. I don't know
vinyl but this one should have been out on wax. Much of his stuff is jazz
fusion but nice.

Well, there's Dave Valentin on the latin jazz/fusion side. Or J-P Rampal,
purely classical. Or even James Galway for classics/Irish/Japanese/Pop
stuff. Yes, I'm serious. I'm an old fogey with a club-foot in the past.
