Check this out. This is Frank Gambale and one of his bands doing a really cool tune entitled "Fe Fi Fo Funk". It definitely has the late '80s, early '90s contemporary jazz sound to it, along with the guitar pyrotechnics of fusion as it originated. Interestingly (and this is only the second time I've seen this), the second keyboard player (Freddie Ravel), is using some sort of mouthpiece for a wind controller (not an EWI), but rather, something built into the keyboard pitch bend wheel, that allows him to play the keyboard like an EWI or saxophone. The only other time I've heard that is on a DVD of an Eric Clapton concert when his then keyboardist David Sancious (who has had his own groups and also played with Bruce Springsteen), did the same thing.
Another neat tune to be sure.
