Ambiance II Fusion Ensemble's First 4

 













From discogs:

American jazz, funk, and boogie group that was active in Los Angeles, California in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Also known simply as 'Ambiance' the group reflected the spiritual outlook of its founder and leader Daoud Abubakar Balewa, a Nigerian-born saxophonist, flutist, and clarinettist who also played African and Latin percussion and was heavily influenced by world music.

They made 6 LPs back in the day, and even put out a compilation.  Four of these are avail. online with the last being the missing outlier, I would buy it except the tracks look like repeats or rehashes of past material.

The awesome fusion of Baggage  which appears on the sorry to say ridiculously titled album Gida Gida 'Tight and Tidy', sounds almost like National Health-level composition:




I love their version of the Last Tango theme too, written if you recall by Gato Barbieri, which appears on a couple of these.

Thanks for the recommendation / request!
