Abraxas Pool

Whilst Neal Schon reunited with Steve Perry, Steve Smith and Ross Valory to record Journey’s tenth studio album “Trial by Fire” in early 1996, the "classic" line-up of Santana band; Gregg Rolie, Michael Carabello, Michael Shrieve and José "Chepito" Areas, with Neal Schon (joined Santana in 1971 when the Santana III was released) got together intending to reproduce the original sound of Santana 30 years later and the result was fabulous Abraxas Pool.
That happened because Neal Schon was obliged to wait for Steve Perry whether he wanted to tour or not due to physical issues. Neal Schon released his solo album Electric World in 1997, late forming the Abraxas Pool with former Journey member Gregg Rolie,
Since Neal Schon decided to have Steve Augeri with Journey, replacing semi-retired Steve Perry, Abraxas Pool was ended after this album release.
