The inception of The Fusion Syndicate dates back to 2012 when they introduced themselves with the release of their eponymous studio album. This debut album was crafted under the production of Billy Sherwood, renowned bassist of Yes. Following a similar approach as Sherwood’s The Prog Collective series, The Fusion Syndicate brings together musicians from the realms of progressive and jazz fusion, culminating in the creation of fresh fusion-oriented compositions.
