“Fusion Holidays” was conceived by 2-time Grammy-nominated bassist Bunny Brunel and is a “one-off” single featuring famed Russian guitarist Roman Miroshnichenko. Other musicians are Virgil Donati (drums) Kaylene Peoples (flute), and Mahesh Balasooriya (keys). Out the gate this song moves with a dynamic melody played in unison by guitar and flute. Miroshnichenko takes the first solo and paints a hard-hitting melodic portrait, filled with tasty riffs and serious shredding; keyboardist Mahesh Balasooriya, (Stanley Clarke, Natalie Cole), plays a hip, exciting piano solo. Flutist Kaylene Peoples (Bobby Lyle, Hubert Laws) solos at the outro, and drummer Virgil Donati (Planet X, CAB) locks in the groove with Bunny’s bass.
Bunny Brunel, who has played with Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, and Al Jarreau is known for his mind-blowing bass solos. He captivates with his signature fretless while putting his stamp all over this powerful, groove-heavy track! (Release date is May 5, 2022.)
