Group 87 was my very first adventure into the world of big-time record making. It was a band that I formed with my two best friends – Peter Maunu and Patrick O’Hearn – in the beginning of my exploration of instrumental fusion music. We made two records, both of which tried to explore our version of what that genre was about – influenced heavily by Weather Report and Brian Eno. The first one, Group 87, featured Terry Bozzio and Peter Wolf as guests, and the second, entitled A Career in Dada Processing, featured Peter Van Hooke.
