Album Notes & Community Reviews

Formed by ex-Gryphon guitarist Graeme Taylor, 2nd Vision presented a highly polished, intricate approach to British jazz fusion. 'First Steps' seamlessly integrates the pastoral acoustic textures of progressive folk with complex, rapid-fire electric instrumentation and fluid time signatures. The album serves as a sophisticated, technical showcase that unfortunately remained their sole studio release.
