David Sancious is a terrific musician and fusion heads like me watched him closely; Jimi Hendrix had a concept he called "Sky Church" (think dramatic gospel and LSD in a compelling mix

)...anyway, I thought David Sancious had that; the soaring, sophisticated musicianship that brought awe and stirred the soul. David plays guitar like a fiend. I think he has an album from 1979. brb
