Cortex were a highly-regarded jazz fusion group from the 1970s led by Alain Mion and Alain Gandolfi. Trad Vibe has been diligently reissuing most of the project’s seminal albums, and now they’ve gone one step further by unearthing some extra alternative takes and forgotten tracks which help complete the picture of this insanely talented group of players and composers. With the slick precision of session players they lay down groove after groove, with the tribute piece ‘Stevie’ being a particularly artful demonstration of their skill in fusing motifs from a whole host of Stevie Wonder classics.
