Open Sky Unit - Sunshine (1974)
A Belgian jazzman who was always ahead of his time was Jacques Pelzer. The man was one of the first musicians to play bebop in Europe, being influenced by Charlie Parker. Later on, his biggest idol was John Coltrane, but in the seventies he played with Open Sky Unit, a jazzfunk band who released only one album, that was recorded live and only sold at concerts. Luckily, it was reissued a while ago by WhatMusic. Open Sky Unit was a group that originated from jam sessions. The personnel were Jacques and his daughter Micheline Pelzer, their cousin Steve Houben, bass player Janot Buchem, percussion player Michel Graillier and keyboard player Ron Wilson, who wrote all compositions and who you can hear singing.
