"Fuse One is conceived as a forum in which major contemporary musicians
perform according to their own musical disciplines and interact without the
constraints that accompany leader responsibilities. Each player brings in
new compositions and ideas. C.T."









 
CTI-9004 was assigned to a reissue of a 7000-series CTI but was shelved.

CTI-9005 was unassigned.
 
I think this may have been the same sessions that produced the prior Fuse One record. Similiarly, there is nothing on here I would want to hear again. Upon thinking about it further, it feels as though the album is devoid of personality, and makes a good case for "supergroups" being anything but "super" when thrown together.
