US Caldera in 4, by request















Discogged here albeit with minimal info.

In keeping with their popularity at the time they are rather smooth in fact with minimal craziness but extremely professional playing.
From the first album (ST, 1976), Synesthesia:



From the second (Sky Island, 1977), Seraphim / Angel:

  3. This looks really cool to a LA studio scene fan. Carlos Vega and Steve Tavaglione both on board, in 1976 on top of that. Thanks a lot!!!
