Flight - Excursion Beyond (1980)


Easy-goin', funky, synth-flavored fusion. Last week, this guy came into my work and sold his huge, awesome jazz/funk/disco collection, and this is one of like 10 records that I snagged from his buy. Thanks, dude!

1. Excursions Beyond
2. Music Razzmatazz
3. A Thing for Julie
4. Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)
5. The Rumble
6. Face to Face
7. Jett Lagg
8. Inca Innuendo

  3. Is there any way to write other than comment? Anyway, good stuff man, thanks for the discerning taste.

    Also, judging from your picks, you may like this slept-on nighty-smoothy type album: https://hugopratt.bandcamp.com/ (the first song has a long intro, let it ride...)

  5. I just came upon this. My uncle and cousin were both in the band Flight. Ted Karczewski, guitar and Jim Yaeger on Keyboards. Jim passed away today after a battle with cancer. He was a great man and a multi talented musician that went on after three albums with Flight to write many movie scores and has played with Cyndi Lauper,Ozzy Osbourne,Bill Ward,Ric Astley, Billy Squire,Silver Convention,The Tramps,The Drifters,Bobby Lewis, Defunkt,Stu Hamm, Matt Sorum,Rod Morgenstein,Vinnie Appice,Jeff Berlin,Mike Vernon. and others. He will be missed on this earth! You should listen to the first album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnmOejQSA_Q
