Cultural Facts:
-
Scene Ecology: A French conservatory player who jumped scenes fast—working in the US with Frank Zappa and the Mahavishnu Orchestra orbit before leading his own projects.
-
Studio Lore: Built a career around electric violin control and studio precision, treating his instrument like a lead synth in a band context.
-
Media Narrative: Jazz-rock backlash hit hard in this era; fusion players were framed as “too electric,” even as they kept the touring circuit alive.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
