BIOGRAPHY:
The
Fusion Show
began back in the spring of 1984 at radio station
WCSB in
Cleveland, Ohio. The show started out as a format
that was originally limited to
literally what sat on the shelves at the radio
station. As interest and the listening audience
grew,so did the music collection. The playlist
has now expanded to
many artists’ music domestic and import,
showcasing the talents of musicians around the
world.
The
Fusion Show had it’s first guest around
1988, and as time progressed more
music interviews were scheduled. Over the years
lesser known musicians with
just a disk and a dream entertained listeners
with their stories and music.
The
list of amazing musicians is to extensive to mention
and is in no way meant
to slight any of the achievements of these individuals.
As you read further in
this web site you will be introduced to many of
these people being described.
Some
of the most recognizable names that have been
on The Fusion Show
swing from the heavy side of instrumental rock
music like Satriani and Vai all
the way to a more traditional jazz setting, like
Larry Coryell and Tom Scott.
Guests
in the past have included the vocal dabbling of
Frank Marino &
Mahogany Rush and the Average White Band to new
age artists Tangerine
Dream and Craig Chaquico formally of The Starship.
Some
other names might strike a common chord
like Steve Morse from the Dixie Dregs, and
Deep Purple, Terry Bozzio and Frank Zappa,
as well as Michael Schenker, Dennis Chambers
and Steve Lukather of Toto have graced
Cleveland the Airwaves.
Summing
up the shows history, all I can say is that this has been an amazing journey! Still, the most gratifying moment is when a listener calls with the approval of what ishappening on the radio show. After 20 years it's rolling stronger than ever !!
