Train - German Fusion Jazz (First Class)

German band Train puts the jazz in jazz fusion. Mostly this is sax and toned down guitar driven jazz rock. But there's also some acoustic guitar pieces, and the opener 'Solution' is pure funk. The best track is saved for last, a slow atmospheric exotic percussive Middle Eastern piece with flute as the lead, appropriately enough titled 'Arabesque'. A real jewel of early jazz-rock in Germany. Groovy interesting themes... Coo Coo out is a danceable jazz-funk track. All the musicians handle their instruments on a high level.
