Kashgar (Jazz-Rock Fusion)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Dear Prog Archives,
Please consider our band Kashgar, whose self-titled debut CD was released late last year, for inclusion.

Kashgar is an innovative jazz-rock-world outfit that plays original music combining the hard edge of prog rock with jazz and world fusion sensibilities. Fronted by Anglo-Canadian guitarist Marcus Taylor (Broken Parachute, Crosswinds), the group also includes Ben Bell (Fusion Orchestra 2, Patchwork Cacophony) on keys, and Matt Snowden and Jeff Willet on drums / percussion. The tracks are original and dynamic, with searing guitar and hammond interplay over rich compositions that evoke bands from Santana and the Mahavishnu Orchestra through to the world fusion of Steve Tibbetts and Trilok Guru.

The band website is:
www.kashgarband.com

The album can be listened to in full either through band camp:
https://kashgarband.bandcamp.com/releases

or on Soundcloud:
https://soundcloud.com/kashgar77

Hard copy CDs are also available either at Amazon or CD Baby.

There's also a youtube preview of the album here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcJYcd22Qjg

Many kind thanks for your consideration - all feedback on the music readily accepted, no matter how critical!
I'm happy to send either mp3s or a hard copy CD to anyone willing to review the album. I can also provide any further information.

All best,
Marcus

	Thank you so much for doing this. One question: is it possible to change 'United States' to 'Canada' as our home country? It will save Trump kicking us out as unwanted migrants

	Well, I'm listening to the album right now, and it's rather good and it fully deserves PA inclusion But in JR/F??
