Before he was a founding member of the "progressively ambitious" metal band, MEGADETH, Chris Poland with Robertino Pagliari, Gar Samuelson (also of MEGADETH) and Stu Samuelson made up a popular, L.A. area fusion outfit named The New Yorkers. Today, Chris and Robby along with drummer Kofi Baker, go by OHM, and have gone on to create some of today's most electrifying jazz-fusion. A power trio of epic talent, beginning with Chris Poland, who is among the most unrecognized, yet tremendously gifted fusion players ever to hit the scene. His style is both technically complex, yet free and passionate. Utilizing a vast array of rack-mount effects, that never cloud, but instead supply a tonal plate to a true artist, he is able to make precise sonic U-turns that make you wonder how it can only be one person playing. Supporting this intense string-master, is Robertino Pagliari on bass guitar. Robby's rounded tone and head-spinning six-string runs, are every bit on par with Chris, and balance out the compositional mastery OHM is known for. Keeping the beat has been the job of two gifted drummers, formerly David Eagle, and now Kofi Baker (Son of Ginger Baker of CREAM). While one could classify OHM as a jazz-fusion band in the tradition of MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, WEATHER REPORT, and BRAND X, these comparisons do little to describe the unique work of this Los Angeles trio.
His second record "Groove Warrior" (2004) on ESC Records, features another all-star lineup with Lalah Hathaway, Marcus Miller, Bernard Wright, JuJu House, Poogie Bell, Schuyler Deale, Booker King, and Patches Stewart, just to name a few.

I'M NOT SURE IF I POSTED THIS BEORE,WHEN I POSTED MORE OF HIS RELEASES, IF NOT
IT IS A SURE WINNER...
Musician, composer, and producer Jeff Richman has many significant achievements to his name. He is regarded as one of the world’s preeminent fusion guitarists. Jeff Beck is atop the list of those who captured Richman’s imagination, and profoundly impacted his technical and improvisational growth. The iconic guitarist’s recent passing gives us pause to consider the indelible mark he made on rock, fusion, and a host of impressionable young guitarists. Richman is among a select few gifted and inspired pioneers who have continued to raise the bar and expand what has become the limitless boundaries of fusion. Richman’s vital and essential contributions to the genre are as well-documented as his glorious and masterful recordings and live performances.
After graduating from the prestigious Berklee School of Music in 1975, it soon became evident that Richman was to be a vast contributor to the advancement and evolution of fusion. He has held that prominent position at the table for nearly fifty years. Now, as an elder statesman, Richman continues to grow and pave the way with rich and dynamic new music. As a composer and certainly as a guitarist, a notable observation of Richman’s unique skill set is the depth of his articulation and his innate natural abilities to convey and communicate his stories.

AFTER 23 YRS FROM THE LAST RELEASE, THESE 2 JAPANESE GREAT JAZZ FUSION GUITARISTS ARE BACK.
After 23 years, their sounds intersect once again. The acoustic guitar duo of Koji Masuzaki and Koichi Yabori creates rich scenes of silence and blank spaces. The album "TOKI" is a work that quietly expands into a delicate and beautiful "season of sound" that encapsulates the changing time and emotions of the four seasons in Japan in 10 songs.
Released on June 11, 2026 REMASTERED:::JAZZ FUSION
Originally released in 1980 and long overdue for wider recognition, Boy Katindig’s "After Midnight" returns in a lovingly restored 2026 reissue from the newly established UK label, Sama Sama Records.
Blending Jazz-Fusion, Disco-Funk, Latin Jazz and Batucada rhythms into a uniquely Filipino sound, the album captures a moment when Manila’s musical imagination was in full flight. From the swaggering title track and the dancefloor-ready pulse of "Got The Need" to the sublime instrumental take on "Deja Vu," After Midnight stands as one of the hidden gems of Southeast Asian Jazz and Funk.
Phase-Corrected Audio: CD1 The restoration completely removes the original CSG process that was used in 1968 to make the stereo mixes compatible with mono radios, revealing a far crisper, more detailed soundstage. The 5CD super deluxe edition of features a 2026 remaster and a previously unreleased phase-corrected version of the entire album. The latter version was achieved by using software to reverse the Haeco-CSG effect originally applied to the album. This was a 1960s audio processing technique intended to make stereo recordings compatible with mono turntables but had a side-effect of ‘blurring’ the stereo imaging. The first CD offers the remaster of the original followed by this new version that removes the Haeco-CSG effect.
CD 2 offers Wheels Of Fire stereo and mono reference reels, sourced from producer Felix Pappalardi’s personal collection while discs three and four deliver Live At The Fillmore Auditorium & Winterland Ballroom – tracks from the March 1968 shows used for Live Cream (1970) and Live Cream Volume 2 (1972) with a previously unreleased version of ‘We’re Going Wrong’
The fifth and final CD features 15 remastered rarities, including early versions, alternate mixes, single edits and live recordings (nine previously unreleased tracks).
Wheels Of Fire was originally released on 14 June 1968 in the US; less than a month later, the three-piece – Ginger Baker (drums, vocals), Jack Bruce (bass, lead vocals) and Eric Clapton (guitar, vocals) – announced that they were going their separate ways…

Alter Ego, a piano trio celebrating its 10th anniversary, proudly presents its new album 3×3 (pronounced "Three by Three"), set for release on May 21. The album features nine original compositions—three by each member—showcasing the band’s musical evolution and distinctive personalities. The title 3×3 symbolizes the interwoven worlds created by the trio’s three voices, each track resonating with its own unique message. AND ANOTHER FAVORITE OF OURS..
On February 27, 2024, he collapsed at his home in Karuizawa and was transported by ambulance. On March 31 of the same year, as a result of scrutiny, it was reported on the official website that he was diagnosed with cerebral stem hemorrhage with impaired consciousness and that he was hospitalized, and that he would cancel all artist activities scheduled for this year based on the doctor's diagnosis and concentrate on treatment.
HE IS MISSED, AND HOPES HE DOES RECOVER....ONE OF MY FAVORITES..........
