Hawk On Flight - Hawk On Flight (1980)

The second album from this band from Sweden and Norway.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, keyoards and guitars.

I was pretty impressed with their 1979 debut album In Time For Hawk On Flight. A good fusion album.

The band continued on their second album with their take on fusion.

References are Return To Forever and Weather Report. This on their debut album as on their second album.

The music on this forty-five minutes long album is playful with a lot of solos and quirky melodies. Those who are into Return To Forever will really enjoy this album. The difference is that the musicians in RTF was the best ones in the world at that time. The musicians in HOF was "only" the best ones in Scandinavia at that time. That is the only major difference. That and the music on this album is slightly more laidback.

The result is a really good album.

The band continued to release some more albums. Albums I have yet to find so I will leave the band at this stage.
