The Fusion Syndicate got mentioned on Andrews www.zappanews.co.uk website last week.
It's a project by Billy Sherwood, who previously did a similar exercise with The Prog Collective: bringing together musicians from the progressive rock, jazz rock and fusion scene to record his music.
So it's not really a band as such, because there are different musicians on every track, but it sure is a display of talented musicians.
Their first (eponymous) album got released in 2012 (and was made available on Bandcamp in 2017).
- Bass Guitar – Billy Sheehan 3, Colin Edwin 2, Jimmy Haslip 1, Justin Chancellor 7, Percy Jones 5
- Drums – Asaf Sirkis 7, Billy Cobham 2, Chad Wackerman 6, Chester Thompson 4, Gavin Harrison 3

- Piano – Jim Beard 5
- Saxophone – Eric Marienthal 4, Jay Beckenstein 3, Mel Collins 2, Nik Turner 1, Theo Travis 7
