- Spectrum Road is the debut album by the American supergroup of the same name, featuring bassist and vocalist Jack Bruce, guitarist Vernon Reid, keyboard player John Medeski, and drummer Cindy Blackman Santana. The group's sole release, it was recorded in February 2011 at Maggie's Farm in Pipersville, Pennsylvania, and was issued in 2012 by Palmetto Records. The album pays homage to the jazz fusion band The Tony Williams Lifetime, and is named after the song "Via the Spectrum Road" from the 1969 Lifetime recording Emergency!. Bruce served as a personal link to Lifetime, as he participated in the creation of their second album, Turn It Over (1970). The band's origins dated back to 2001, when Reid, who was touring with Bruce's group, suggested that they put together an ensemble to revisit and explore the music of Lifetime. Reid recommended that they include Medeski and Blackman Santana, and the quartet finally came together in 2008. Blackman Santana would record her own Lifetime tribute album, Another Lifetime, in 2010. Although the album revolves around material from Lifetime recordings, the musicians were not interested in recreating the original music, and instead viewed the charts as jumping-off points. Reid reflected: "If this was focused on the so-called 'glories of the past' it would be dead on arrival. Since Tony's expression is only now being fully understood, we can take that momentum and run with it." (en)
