バズ・フェイトンは私の好きなギタリストの中の重要な一人で、実はかなり前から作ってましたが、あちこちでネット検索していたら、強力なページを発見したために、業務委託じゃないですが、そのときは内容を充実している時間もなかったのでそっちのページにリンクを結ばせてもらうことにしました・・・。が、いつの間にかそのページ、なんの前触れもなく消えてしまして、しかたなくたいした情報量ではないんですが、自前のページをご披露することにした次第です。
バズ・フェイトンはポール・バターフィールド・バンド、フルムーン（初代）、ラーセン・フェイトン・バンド、フルムーン（２代目）、ニール・ラーセン・バンド、ミスター・Ｍｒ．、デイヴ・ウェッケル・バンド、フルムーン（３代目）、などの経歴の中でブルースをベースにしつつロック色の濃いクロスオーヴァー、フュージョン・ギターの真髄ともいえるギタープレイを披露してきています。そのプレイはブライトなクリーントーンを使った巧みなバッキングとスケール感豊かなディストーション・サウンドを生かしたソロプレイが特徴的です。
ギタープレイで活躍する一方、ギターやアンプの構造、回路にも明るく、バジーフェイトン・スタイルの商標でスピーカー・キャビネットを市販したり（スクエアの安藤氏らが使用）、最近ではギターでは構造上不可避と言われてきたチューニングの誤差を補正するバジー・フェイトン・チューニング・システムが有名です。
それでは私のコレクションからバジーが関わったアルバムをご紹介してまいりましょう。

All I ever needed / Bobby Kimball
言わずと知れたTOTOのヴォーカリストのソロ作。なんでもオーストラリアのガソリンスタンドのみで流通していたらしい。現在はちゃんと流通にまわったのか、amazon.comで発見、即ゲット！ バジーはほぼ全曲に参加しているようだ。ロックアルバムだけど、メンツが面白い。B:ブライアン・ブロムバーグ、ピアノ：ミッチェル・フォアマンなど面白い取り合わせ。もちろんバジーも殆ど全曲で参加
Chris Dundas / Chris Dundas
全く知らないキーボード奏者だけど、ピーター・アースキン、デーヴ・カーペンターとバジーの４人ユニット、面白そう。
聴いてみた感じ、割とジャズ寄りの雰囲気です。バジーのプレイは即興的なソロとかを聴くことができ、「あれ、いま入るところ間違えてなかった？」とか「ソロが予定外に終わってない？」とかいう感じもあったりしました。ははは。
Fun to Fun / 世良公則
なんで、ヤマケンが世良なの？という質問が来そうな世良公則ＬＡ録音のスタジオ盤。買った理由はバジーが参加しているというから。世良さんがツイスト解散してＬＡで録音したアルバム、かな？他に知っている人は？と思って見てみたら、もう一人のギターがマイケル・トンプソンで（二人とも小原礼がよく使うなあ）
