Jimi Tunnell - Trilateral Commission (1992)

This spirited fusion date was previously released in Japan in 1992 but had to wait 13 years to make its American debut. Guitarist Jimi Tunnell is the main star, displaying plenty of fire on guitar, mixing together the sound of rock with the sophisticated improvising of jazz. He works closely with his rhythm section and there are spots for saxophonist Bendik Hofseth and keyboardist Rachel Z, too. Considering the power and virtuosity that is displayed on Trilateral Commission, it is surprising that it took this long for the set to become available stateside. Jimi Tunnell deserves to be much better known in the American fusion world.
