VC - My Reaction to DISCOGS “20 Essential Fusion LPs” PART 1

Hey! We record nerds LOVE LISTS!! I got an email from Discogs touting its “20 ESSENTIAL JAZZ-FUSION RECORDS EVERYONE SHOULD OWN” by Brandon Ousley (whom I do not know). Unlike the recent “30 Greatest Living Songwriters” list posted a week or 2 ago in the New York Times… well… Mr. Ousley makes some very wise, yet not totally safe, choices. Even so, to me this was like a red flag to a bull. In this video, I dive in and offer my 2 cents on 10 of the 20 Discogs-listed selections. I’ll discuss the remaining 10 in a separate video.
