Solution was a Dutch progressive rock band, known for blending jazz fusion with a rock sensibility in their music. The group formed in the late 1960s with members Tom Barlage (saxes, flute), Willem Ennes (keyboards), Guus Willemse (bass, vocals), and Hans Waterman (drums). They found a modest following in the Netherlands and beyond for their virtuosic instrumental prowess and innovative sound, which often featured complex harmonies and extended improvisational sections.

Over the years, Solution's evolving style and consistent musicianship produced a string of albums that were well-received by fans of the genre, with works like "Cordon Bleu" and "Fully Interlocking" being standouts in their discography. Their live performances were especially appreciated, capturing the dynamic energy and refined skill of the band, as can be heard in their "Live at Panama" reunion albums from 2006. Despite never quite achieving mainstream success, Solution left an indelible mark on the progressive rock and jazz fusion scenes, as evidenced by the periodic remastering and reissuing of their classic works, ensuring that their intricate compositions continue to reach new generations of listeners.
