Fuse One: The Complete Recordings (1989)

Fuse One were a group of Jazz musicians who collaborated for two albums released on CTI Records.

Both albums were produced by Creed Taylor. The first album was arranged by Jeremy Wall of Spyro Gyra and the second by Leon "Ndugu" Chancler of Weather Report.

Patti Austin: Havana Candy (1977)

CTI was having its troubles financially at the time. They recycled arrangements for all their artists and limited their budgets. Austin sang this undistinguished material with as much conviction as she could muster, but the general pallid air lingering over the production also affected her vocals. -- AMG
