Focus Van Leer and Akkerman reunited for a joint project which resulted in the commercially unsuccessful album "Focus". Year:  1985 Media:  Vinyl LP Label: Vertigo Release no: 824 524-1 Manufactured: Holland Musicians: Jan Akkerman Thijs van Leer Ed Staring (farlight programming) Tato Gomez (bass) Ruud Jacobs (bass) Ustad Zamir Ahmad Khan (tabla) Sergio Castillo (drumfills) Producer: Ruud Jacobs Engineer: n/a Studio: Studio Spitsbergen Focus Van Leer and Akkerman reunited for a joint project which resulted in the commercially unsuccessful album "Focus". Even though it is officially not a product of the band Focus, most tracks recall the "lite jazz" sound of the "Mother Focus" album. With tepid marketing support and a short record production run, many of Focus' longtime fans around the world were unaware that the album was released or were unable to find a copy. As a result, sales of the album were predictably abysmal. Tracks: Russian Roulette (Leer) King Kong (Akkerman) Le Tango (Leer/Peters) Indian Summer (Akkerman) Beethoven's Revenge (Akkerman) Who's calling? (Leer/Akkerman)
