CAB’s live performance in Moscow captures jazz fusion at its most disciplined—where virtuosity serves structure rather than spectacle. Featuring Tony MacAlpine, Bunny Brunel, Virgil Donati, and Dennis Hamm, the group functions as a tightly coordinated unit, shifting dynamics and direction in real time without excess. MacAlpine’s precise articulation cuts cleanly through the mix, while Brunel’s fretless bass provides a fluid, guiding presence that shapes the harmonic movement. Donati drives the performance with constantly shifting rhythmic centers, keeping the ensemble alert and responsive, while Hamm’s keyboards quietly bridge the space between them. What defines this performance is not speed or flash, but control. Every phrase is intentional, every transition measured. It reflects a period in fusion where the goal wasn’t to impress, but to construct and sustain momentum as a collective.
