There are numerous artists who have performed under the name Aurora: 18)Aurora was a jazz rock/fusion band from Texas, United States. During their short existence (1976-80), they never released an official album. The two founders of Aurora were violinist Mark Menikos and guitarist Skip SoRelle. Menikos' mentors are Jean-Luc Ponty and Stéphane Grapelli, whereas SoRelle draws his influence from jazz legends John Coltrane, Chick Corea and Larry Coryell. Bassist Roy Vogt, keyboardist John Sharp and drummer Martin McCall were eventually added to the roster. Their eponymous CD, released in 1999, is a mixture of studio recordings and live gigs. The album also features live material taped during a 1977 radio broadcast in Dallas.
