By Request, Santa Cruz's Daylight (Denmark, 1985)








In this period that we are interested in, Danish fusion band Santa Cruz made only one album in 1985.  (They made 2 CDs in the 2000s.)  Not to be confused with Santa Claus, a ridiculous North Pole myth.  Most of the music was written by the keyboardist, Frans Bak.  Shockingly there is an instrumental version of James Taylor's Golden Moments, a great song in fact, but usually only when sung and done by him.  I grew up with James like so many others and as a result, don't enjoy being reminded of him.  Of note, "Live recordings (A5, B1 to B3) recorded March 27th, 1983, at "Musik + Madsmeden" in Nyborg"

Musically this is very similar to the Entrance posted before.

  2. Some well known names here (at least if you live in Denmark). Jazz drummer Alex Riel who very often backed American jazz giants at the famous Jazzhouse Montmartre when they toured DK and who also played with the original Savage Rose. Poul Halberg very busy on the local scene and hitting commercial succes with the Hallberg Larsen Band.
