Terry McDonald's Street State of Affairs, 1980






A one-off LP from this sax player who also composed and produced.
Here we have a pretty unified mix of post-bop, comtemporary jazz, acoustic jazz, backing electric guitar giving a fusion feel.  The music is usually pretty advanced, perhaps like Herbert Joos but minus any orchestra, like Part of Art.

Some gorgeous progressive songwriting appears on the closer called Namib's Song:

    Good players for sure, but the overall result is a little bit "dull".
    Don't really know why I DLed it in the first place by the way... 0:)
    Anyway thank you for sharing Julian !

    Terry passed away on July 24th 2024 at 11:35 pm. I will miss him. By the way, several of the players on this record went on to become Jimmy Buffet's Coral Reefer Band.
