George Jinda, France

Wheel Of Love. 1976 Motors

George Jinda is of Hungarian descent, born and raised in Budapest, and (the curtain closes) by the 1980's he's in the US according to all the bio's I could find. En route to his last destination, he found himself in France. And Wheel of Love certainly sounds French. Features all the members of Speed Limit, who he was also a member of. Outstanding bass guitar courtesy of Didier Batard. Also some wonderful Heldon sequencer/guitar moves, flute/sax jazz rock, and even a little funk. This excellent all instrumental album has a lot of creative ideas and sounds.

My last listen confirms that review and the rating stays the same. I picked up some Zeuhlish bass this time from Batard. Also, it does appear that Jinda's solo album could be considered the middle of the 3 Speed Limit albums. Not sure why they didn't maintain the name, as the lineup is pretty similar. I had this album cataloged as progressive rock, but I think it does belong with the jazz and fusion collection. Jinda sadly passed away in 2002.

Priority: 2
