He left before Manna-Mirage came out and became classic prog. Yet his album "Present Time" cuts of classic prog cloth itself- yet is not included here. Online, I've seen meager response to what I'd consider a Canterbury/prog MASTERPIECE. Michael Zentner Present Time is worthy of inclusion in these archives for CERTAIN   The top 80's prog rock I've herd........Seek it

Sounds like a worthy inclusion to JRF, this should be moved to Suggest New Bands thread.
here's what I could find with a quick search.

Hey, guys! Hi! It's me! Drew Fisher (aka "BrufordFreak") freshly new to the Canterbury/JAzz-Rock/Fusion team. We're processing Suedevanshoe(Wade)/Michael's submission. Two of us have already given him the thumbs up but our other team members have been too busy to listen to Michael's stuff yet. Patience, My friends!

Thank you for bringing this "lost" but very deserving artist to our attention. I feel certain that his discography will soon be in the PA database!

Sincerely,
Drew

Just listened to several tracks on you tube....very nice jazz/fusion.
The record is available on original vinyl in several places btw.
 
there's a track by track breakdown and the players....Wyatt was in Happy The Man according to the bios on discogs.

He's just been voted in. JR/F (despite his desire to be Canterbury). I've been charged with writing the bio, so thanks for all of your references, Suedevanshoe!

Thanks. Yes, Wyatt was a founding member of Happy The Man. The Muffins and HTM were both based out of the Washington DC area in the Late 70s, and were friends and mutual admirers.
