John Fumo's album release show, with original music by Entropy and covers of 1969-1975 cuts from Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock’s jazz fusion era.
John Fumo has been a Miles Davis fan from his early days with Charlie Parker, through the “cool” period into his “In a Silent Way” seminal recording. When John first heard the album “Bitches Brew” he already had an affinity for rock and funk music. “With the electric guitar, electric bass, Fender Rhodes piano, echos and delays, Miles and his band hit me right were I lived, a fusion of Rock, Funk and Jazz” says John. Herbie Hancock and his Mwandishi band with it’s hypnotic grooves and free jazz approach was also a main influence in John’s work.
Fumo relocated to Nashville in 2021 after a long career in Los Angeles, freelancing, recording, composing and touring with Neil Diamond, Neil Young, Brian Setzer and a host of others. Teaching at California Institute of the Arts and at USC for over 20 years, the idea for Entropy was born.
