Live At Woodstock Town Hall by Stu Martin / John Surman, released on Dawn in 1975

Pretty incredible work from the team of Stu Martin and John Surman -- sounding a lot fuller than you'd expect from a two-musician set of duets like this! Martin's not only playing drums, but also some EMS synthesizers -- creating wild effects on the best tracks, matched nicely with Surman's work on sax. And although the set's live, it's got an up-close intensity that's really great -- and really feels a bit more like a studio album than you'd think. Titles include "Harry Lovett -- Man Without A Country", "Are You Positive You're Negative", "Wrested In Mustard", "Master Of Disaster", and "Professor Goodly's Implosion Machine" - Dusty Groove

Where Fortune Smiles is a free jazz LP credited to John McLaughlin, John Surman, Dave Holland, Karl Berger, and Stu Martin, recorded in 1970 and released on Dawn Records in 1971.

Robert Christgau stated "Recorded in New York in 1969, when McLaughlin's studio appearances were amazing everyone from Jimi to Buddy to Miles, this prefigures Mahavishnu's fusion at an earlier, jazzier stage. Pretty intense. The rock guy (drummer Martin) sounds a lot more original than the jazz guys (keyboard player Berger and--especially--saxophonist Surman), but only the justifiably ubiquitous Holland (on bass) can keep up with McLaughlin. And believe me, even if in historical fact it's McLaughlin who's trying to keep up, that's how it sounds." - Wikipedia
