The best fusion library I know: 'Impulse' 1976 with Brian Miller, Frank Ricotti, Stan Sulzman, et al.




Says the generic blurb:

"Strong Themes Suitable for Film, Radio and TV with easy cutting points"

Here's the blurb I'd write:

"Beyond-brilliant miraculous fusion masterpieces that will stand the test of time for billions of years to come"

First up, information here.  Simply an outrageous set of instrumental compositions, shockingly well-written and progressive and original, and for once 'all killer, no filler' with no boring improvisation, just composition.  Similar to the much longer and tiny bite-sized brilliance of the other great fusion library masterpiece, Ceccarelli's Rythmes from 1976, it's hard to believe there's so much incredible thought that went into this virtually unknown LP that must have passed completely unnoticed back in the day.

The standout is keyboardist Brian Miller, a man who for me achieved his own self-actualized climactic heights of brilliance in the two-album band Turning Point released in the late 1970s, but who also was in Isotope and the much-worse Rock Workshop.  Consider Alpaca:



Stan Sulzmann has appeared on this blog before, most recently here, and his track called Sojan is also amazing:



The album closes out with one by Frank Ricotti too!
