Jacques Pelzer,Ron Wilson,Steve Houben & Michel Graillier"Open Sky Unit" 1974 Belgium Jazz Funk.

Now impossible to find spiritual Fender funky jazz Holy Grail from Belgium led by Belgian Jazz legend Jacques Pelzer with his group Open Sky Unit! Pretty unique Live jazz sound recording and with the rhythmic soulful Fender Rhodes played by american musician Ron Wilson, who wrote all the tracks and vocals on the set!. The album includes Wilson's sublime groover Sunshine Star, a very hip bit of jazz funk , plus the modal funky jazz tunes Open Sky, At Man, Passion & Compassion and Valerie. To rank between Placebo, Babs Robert and your Strata East collection. .....

A rare example of Jacques PELZER's incursion into fusion jazz, and also one of the first appearances on record of saxophone/flute player Steve Houben. For this live recording recorded in the early seventies, the compositions were written by US pianist and vocalist Ron Wilson.....
