The Story
Transformation (The Speed Of Love) is the 1976 album (reissued in 2003 by Wounded Bird Records) by David Sancious and Tone, in which Sancious plays a wicked guitar in addition to his usually stellar keyboards. Sancious is a jazz/fusion keyboardist who, with his group Tone, released a few classic cult favorites during the 1970s. One of those was Transformation (The Speed Of Love), which features an 18-minute epic title track. Sancious was, as you may recall, one of the original members of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. This album was originally issued on Epic Records in 1976, and features Gerald Carboy: on bass along with Ernest Carter on drums/percussion. Fusion fans will find this album to be an essential addition to their collection.
