Jazz in the late 70s / early 80s (jazz goes pop, jazz goes disco)

Cool! Also, come to think of it, way back when Bobby Previte reappeared with Coalition of the Willing(2007) and his group of the same name, I was unexpectedly stimulated to connect with several 70s-80s intersections, trying to balance for new cadets and old hands----archived here:

& note link from that to Previte's bandcamp, where he's posted tons ov amazers.

Some of the albums I mention are from a bit later than 70s-80s, but in very much the same spirit.
