Homebase

Features some of Australia's finest jazz / fusion musicians.

 

Homebase was recorded and mixed in December 1988 / January 89. It's a set of 8 neatly constructed electric jazz tunes featuring Andy Gander, Kevin Hunt, Craig Walters, Dieter Kleeman, Dale Barlow, Ken James and Cleis Pearce..

The album also features the first recording of 'Zamora' which has become something of an Australian fusion classic, with many bands including it in their repertoire over the past ten years or so.
