Shango Over Devil's Moor: Live At Stagge's Hotel 1976
Review by Gary Hill
This is a cool live album. It's not progressive rock, but it is definitely fusion, and we generally land that under prog. There is a lot of world music built into the musical tapestry here. There is some rock and some funk and just a lot of great jazz here. The recording quality is pretty good, but at times the audience is too far up and the mix. Also, the band feels a bit distant on some of the mellower sections. Still, this is quite an entertaining, mostly instrumental, set.
