The music style is jazz and pop. The instrumentals feature a haunting melody line shadowed by guitar, usually syched with the organ or synthesizer, or in some cases, a few miliseconds after the lead notes. The instrumentals also feature a musical chorus, which I find unusual, and some terrific guitar work. Buzz Feiten was a studio guitarist for among other bands, Stevie Wonder. In the mid 1970s he joined forces with Neil Larsen and formed a band called Full Moon who recorded an incredibly classic and great album of the same name, with some personnel of Paul Butterfield Blues Band (after his untimely death). The album was critically acclaimed but did not enjoy commercial success, and was jazzy, rocky and poppy. All in all, a terrific sound.
