FUSION AND ROCK THE FIRST CALL, LEON NDUGU CHANCLER !!

It is a pity that Leon Ndugu Chancler、(Jul. 01,1952- Feb.03-2018) would not continue to join Weather Report after TALE SPINNIN’ (1975). It was said that he should prefer Santana band.

Anyway, TALE SPINNIN is, between MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER and BLACK MARKET, afraid not so being outstanding, however, nice character with tropical color which is from Leon Chancler.
