Crossfire was an Australian jazz-fusion band who were active from 1974 to 1991. They recorded five studio albums during this time, and two live albums. The main members of Crossfire were founding members Jim Kelly (guitars) and Michael Kenny (keyboards, piano). Other members included Ian Bloxsom (percussion, glockenspiel), Greg Lyon and Phil Scorgie (electric bass), Don Reid and Tony Buchanan (saxophones, flute), John Proud, Doug Gallacher, Steve Hopes, and Mark Riley (drums). Crossfire were the backing band for the American jazz singer Michael Franks on an Australian tour, which provided a live album. They were also the backing band for American jazz guitarist Lee Ritenour during his 1981 Australian tour. Lee was impressed when Michael Franks had played Lee his tapes of his live album back in L.A. During 1982 Crossfire undertook an international tour through India, Holland, England and the United States. The group's performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival on 16 July 1982 was recorded and released as their second live album, Live at Montreux (July 1983).
