Mike Nock - Succubus

This album by pianist Mike Nock was released in 1980 on Sutra Records. Mike is most known to me as founder of The Fourth Way, a jazz-rock group that released two albums (that I know of) in the end of the 60's/beginning of the 70's. This is a little more in a straight jazz direction, although there's still some fusion in there, especially on the track Mind Blind. Alex Foster is playing saxophone, Ratso Harris bass, Tom Rainey drums and Ray Mantilla is playing percussion.
