 Traffic
The band is Krueger, Jaeger, and Gerald Johnson (bass), with Mark Jordan and Jay Winding splitting keyboard duties.
The band is Johnson, Jaeger, percussionist Ron Greene, and Finnigan alternating with Mark Stein on keyboards; guests include Krueger, who gets in a pleasant country-pop tune ("The Words"); Jeff Porcaro; Bob Glaub; Ernie Watts; and most prominently Stills (an a capella version of the gospely "Warm And Tender Love," an old hit for Percy Sledge).
Pretty much a no-name band on this one, although Gee is usually the bassist, and Bad Company drummer Simon Kirke guests on a couple tunes.

 Steve Winwood Fans' Site: Traffic biography
Traffic were formed by Winwood, Wood, Capaldi and Mason in 1967 shortly after Winwood had left the Spencer Davis Group.
Traffic expanded the personnel again with a percussionist, Reebop; and for a short British tour in the summer of 1971, ex-Domino Jim Gordon came in to bolster the rhythm section, and the errant Mason again returned to the fold.
And it was in Berkshire, of course, that Traffic was born.

 VH1.com : Traffic : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
Traffic was a successful group that followed its own individual course through the rock music scene of the late '60s and early '70s.
Meanwhile, as Traffic recorded material for its debut album during the summer of 1967, its communal outlook was disrupted by Mason, who, unlike Winwood (a composer who needed help with lyrics and therefore tended toward collaboration), was capable of writing songs on his own and did so.
It was the band's fourth consecutive studio album to reach the American Top Ten and go gold, and the group toured to support it, but at the conclusion of the tour Traffic silently disbanded.

 Traffic
Traffic was formed when Steve Winwood, who was the focal point of the Spencer Davis Group (see Spencer Davis Group), decided to move beyond the restrictions of the group and form his own band consisting of other Birmingham area musicians.
Traffic's live shows at this time included a lot of on-stage jamming and improvisation as well as extended solos by the individual members - something quite unusual in Britain for a pop group in those days and an indication of things to come.
Traffic then recorded another successful self-titled album, to which Mason contributed the classic song Feelin' Alright, a composition that became much covered by other artists but Mason left again in October of 1968 and a few months later, the group activities ceased.

Side note: Some World War II radars operated in the K band around 24.1 GHz (in the limits of K band traffic radar), which also happens to be in the water vapor absorption band (centered at about 22.24 GHz).
Microwave traffic radars do not require the operator to aim exactly (only general direction) at one particular target, and are most effective when traffic is light.
Traffic laser radars can function in dense (or light) traffic, and require the operator to select (aim crosshairs at) a particular target.

 TRAFFIC discography, MP3 and reviews
TRAFFIC were formed in Birmingham, UK in 1967 by Steve Winwood, Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi and Dave Mason.
Winwood’s position as the dominant member of the band was already well established, his (and also Wood and Capaldi’s) more jazz orientation appearing at odds with than Mason’s lighter melodic style.
Mason was subsequently ejected from the band and in 1969, Winwood later announcing that the band had run its course.

 Amazon.com: Welcome to the Canteen: Music: Traffic   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
After a promising debut, the band (whose core consisted of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Stevie Winwood, vocalist-percussionist Jim Capaldi, and winds player-keyboardist Chris Wood) variously broke up, saw Winwood's participation in the supergroup Blind Faith, reformed, and struggled with lineup expansions and contractions.
Fantasy', one of the band's trippiest numbers, lacks some of the psychedelic twists and turns endowed on the studio version, but possesses the finest guitar solo's on the disc.
If this were a performance by any ordinary band, or even s superior band such as Spooky Tooth of The Zombies, I may be inclined to give it five stars, but this is TRAFFIC, one of the two or three premier bands of the second British invasion, along with Cream, Led Zeppelin, and Jeff Beck.

 BLUE SOUND TRAFFIC - Band page with free MP3 music downloads on SoundClick
Blue Sound Traffic is a band from Funchal (Madeira Island), which started playing in 1994 as Drawned In Tears.
Melody has indeed a big part on the songs,but let´s not forget that this are guys that grew up with the death metal and early English doom metal scene,so the melody is backed with heavy riffing which helps the songs to grow instantly in one´s ears.
Many different words are used by listeners to describe the band’s sound, from gothic doom (specially in the early days) to modern gothic metal, to “these guys are not metal at all”, which only proves that BLUE SOUND TRAFFIC have achieved their first goal, to have their own sound, their musical personality.

 The Last Great Traffic Jam
The almost-mythic English band founded with hornman Chris Wood and drummer/composer/vocalist Jim Capaldi had its roots in a free- wheeling eclectic taste in music and a similarly improvisational means of playing and songwriting collectively that ties it directly into the jamband ethic of today.
Such nuggets of Traffic history, while not essential to the audiences they played for a decade ago, would be well served on this DVD but they’re only hinted at in the snippets of commentary between performances.
This is the overview of Traffic the band deserves; one hopes future editions of the DVD may include this material since it makes perfect sense to be included there and not just to offset the superficial footage that does come as part of that video package.
