Arena — Arena 1975 (Australia, Jazz Rock/Fusion) Full Album

The only album by a group of Australian session musicians who got together and recorded this interesting album in their spare time, releasing it privately in 1975 through Crystal Clear Studio. ARENA was a 70's fusion group of session musicians led by saxophone player Ted WHITE. WHITE was working in the British big band jazz scene until moving to Australia in the 1960s to work in the television industry; eventually he was involved in testing facilities of a new recording studio and for that gathered musicians which created this one-time record which was released with very limited distribution. The record though it's worthwile checking out for fans of 70's influenced somewhat by funk, similar to Herbie HANCOCK as well as occasional later SOFT MACHINE period. Tracks: 01.
