Atmospheres feat. Clive Stevens & Friends - Voyage To Uranus 1974

Clive Stevens was a British saxophonist and composer who played with Bob Downes and Manfred Mann before immigrating to the U.S. and studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he befriended guitarists John Abercrombie and Ralph Towner. Stevens signed to Capitol in late 1973, and released two jazz fusion classics just months apart in 1974. The first, Atmospheres featuring Clive Stevens & Friends, showcased the saxophonist with Towner on electric piano and clavinet, Abercrombie and Steve Khan on guitars, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra rhythm section -- bassist Rick Laird and drummer Billy Cobham. Voyage to Uranus returned Towner and Abercrombie, but in the company of bassist Stu Woods, drummer Michael Carvin, and percussionist David Earle Johnson. While the first volume has been given its critical due, Voyage to Uranus has languished in obscurity; its first reissue was in 2015. AMG.
