Stuff like this here (featuring Powell, Bruce, Moore and Airey):

That track always owed more than a bit to Cobham's Quadrant 4 (with Bolin, Hammer and Sklar) in my ears:

Airey and Moore had a mutual high octane jazz rock history from Colosseum II:

And Airey and Powell had played together in Cozy Powell's Hammer (and of course later on in Rainbow):

All four of them, while earning money with more accessible music, had therefore dabbled with jazz rock: Airey & Moore in Colosseum II, Powell with The Jeff Beck Group and Bruce on several of his more jazzy solo outings. For someone who had played with Ginger Baker, Bruce's fondness for Cozy Powell - a heavy-handed drummer - might seem strange, but he did hold him in high regard. I remember an interview where he lauded him for not joining Led Zep after he allegedly got the offer following Bonzo's death.
I had posted some Cozy Powell stuff here a year or two ago. But I had no idea that's where Jack and Gary met. I really like "Killer."
