About this album

Atmospheres Featuring Clive Stevens & Friends is a distinctive slice of early-70s jazz fusion, where exploratory improvisation meets a cosmic, modal feel. Issued in 1974, the album gathers Clive Stevens with a loose circle of players for spacious, searching performances that move between lyrical themes and freer, atmospheric passages. Pieces such as Earth Spirit and Nova '72 point to its balance of groove, texture and open-ended soloing. For listeners drawn to the more adventurous side of fusion, it stands as an intriguing underground statement from the period when jazz was expanding beyond its traditional boundaries.
