David Sancious And Tone
Transformation (The Speed Of Love)
The Story
Transformation (The Speed Of Love) is the 1976 album (reissued in 2003 by Wounded Bird Records) by David Sancious and Tone, in which Sancious plays a wicked guitar in addition to his usually stellar keyboards. Sancious is a jazz/fusion keyboardist who, with his group Tone, released a few classic cult favorites during the 1970s. One of those was Transformation (The Speed Of Love), which features an 18-minute epic title track. Sancious was, as you may recall, one of the original members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. This album was originally issued on Epic Records in 1976, and features Gerald Carboy: on bass along with Ernest Carter on drums/percussion. Fusion fans will find this album to be an essential addition to their collection.
