	Jazz fusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jazz fusion (sometimes referred to simply as fusion) is a musical genre that loosely encompasses the merging of jazz with other styles, particularly rock, funk, RandB, electronic music and world music.
		The band started with latin-influenced music (Flora Purim as a vocalist) but the band was transformed in 1973 to become a jazz-rock group that took influences from both psychedelic and progressive rock.
		While jazz fusion is criticized in some quarters for being a watering down of more conventional swing-based jazz for pop audiences, and further criticized by others for being pretentious or too concerned with musical virtuosity, it has helped to break down boundaries between different genres and led to developments such as acid jazz.

		Miles's earliest experiment with fusion was documented on his 1968 recording Miles In The Sky, with the song "Stuff." Featuring Herbie Hancock on electric piano and Tony Williams playing a funky back beat, "Stuff" illustrated the genesis of this musical style.
		During these years, fusion became increasingly innovative and adventurous, melding the wild energy of rock guitarist Jimi Hendrix with the advanced technical proficiency of the most evolved jazz musicians.

		Fusion energy offers several advantages over nuclear power obtained from fission, like that absence of greenhouse gases emitted by fossil fuel power stations and the highly radioactive waste usually churned out by conventional nuclear power stations.
		Best of all, fusion reactors run on something as cheap as deuterium in sea water, which can be separated by electrolysis.
		Compare this with the complex and expensive methods required to extract uranium-235 from its sources, and it is easy to see why fusion energy is the holy grail of nuclear power research.

	fUSION Anomaly. Music And The Power Of Sound
		Music was therefore justly considered by the ancients as the key to all sciences and arts--the link between metaphysics and physics through which the universal laws and their multiple applications could be understood.
		Thus, to take the domain with which we are here particularly concerned, there remain no data in the West on the nature of music except for a few technical and mostly arbitrary rules about the relations of sounds and the structures of chortis.
		In reality, the personality of the hearer counts for nothing in the phenomenon of musical evocation because evocation takes place even if there is no hearer, and if the existence of this evocation is ephemeral it is only because of the imperfection of the relation of sounds.

		The music on this album is a little closer to the conventional jazz end of the compositional spectrum than the wildly explorative jazz fusion that sometimes misses with listener appeal.
