Encyclopedia: Jazz fusion While jazz fusion is criticised in some quarters for being a watering down of more conventional swing-based jazz for pop audiences, and further criticised 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. 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, and world music. The influences of avant-garde jazz and psychedelic rock that were strongly present in the fusion groups of 1970s have long been absent and replaced by lighter jazz-rock sound that often incorporates elements from funk. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Jazz-fusion   (674 words)

Fusion Arts - Jazz/Fusion Web Resources - fusion so hot it will scorch your ears!!! Fusion today struggles as a genre to survive, but every true artist must play what they believe in regardless of public acceptance and due to this, fusion refuses to die. Fusion's original definition was best: a mixture of jazz improvisation with the power and rhythms of rock, however it may also include a mixture of virtually any style mixed with Jazz including: funk, blues, rock, hip-hop, folk, eastern, African, Cuban, avant-garde, classical, and virtually anything else available to borrow from. To me, fusion is jazz mixed with rock, that is to say jazz played on electric instruments, perferably with electric guitar being the lead voice since a too-loud distorted guitar is what people associate with rock music. www.angelfire.com /oh/scotters/fusion.html   (2183 words)

Country rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Country rock is a musical genre formed from the fusion of rock and roll with country music. While such cross-pollination has occurred throughout the history of both genres, the term is usually used to refer to the wave of groups of the late 1960s and early 1970s who began to record country flavored records, including Neil Young, The Byrds, Gram Parsons and Bob Dylan with The Band. The term is also used for those who came after them, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Eagles, and the many bands they influenced, such as the alternative country movement. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Country_rock   (2183 words)

Music of Puerto Rico - Genre: Folk music This folk music genre originated in Southern Spain is probably the earliest example of the fusion of native rhythms to the lyrics and melodies of Spanish music. Much of this folk music is part of the heritage of the jíbaro with origins in the Andalusia region of Spain. The seis has its roots in the musical genres that came to Puerto Rico in the latter part of the 17th century from southern Spain. www.musicofpuertorico.com /en/genre_folk.html   (758 words)

Heat - exploding the action genre Heat is a long-overdue fusion of real action and real drama, and it reopens doors that the action genre seems to have lost the keys to. In this subset of the genre, social problems are presented as purely psychological conflicts between powerful individuals with opposing interests. Screenwriter/director Michael Mann throws all the enticements of the genre our way - fast-paced action, big guns, big money, mass destruction, and an intelligent game of cat and mouse. archives.thedaily.washington.edu /1996/010496/heat.html   (758 words)

Heavy Metal Music by Genre Including Death Metal and Black Metal and Grindcore and Thrash When hardcore and metal collided thrash emerged as a fusion of punk song stylings and musical ethos with metal riff styles and topics. Low-fi neo-progressive rock from the late 1960s started this genre, in the form of Black Sabbath, who used power chord riffing and dark modalities to express the paranoid nihilism which was a sublimated counterpoint to the dominant impulse toward simplistic absolutism ("peace" and "love") of the time. Arguably for the most part rhythm music, this genre uses muffled picking and tremelo strumming of power chords or single-string playing to hammer out a machine code of intricate riff textures and the geometries of convergent sound. www.anus.com /metal/about/genre.html   (693 words)

Metroactive Music Trance Music But the second disc is a sublime trance mix by Paul Oakenfold, a superstar of the genre. TRANCE MUSIC is the most popular dance music in the world, the sound one hears pounding the speakers at a full-moon party in Goa, India, or Kho Phangan, Thailand, and at clubs across the globe. One reason trance is so popular, surely, is that it suggests that there's still such a thing as uncorrupted bliss. www.metroactive.com /papers/metro/06.29.00/trance-0026.html   (693 words)

"All World Fusion" music reviews While before they varied more in different world music and contemporary fusion ideas, here the music is like traveling throughout the whole world, from one rhythm/county/world music genre to another with a basic structure. The music is laid down relaxed, independent as a, let's say, an 'all world fusion' music. No inspired music, but just technically well-mixed western grooves with Asian elements, which is of course something different as “an introduction to an unknown musical world”, and is  mostly representative as “Asian grooves” because a Turkish radio had a lot to say in this compilation. psychevanhetfolk.homestead.com /WORLD.html   (2027 words)

the Indo-jazz fusion is a genre of music that mixes jazz and Indian classical music to form an exotic blend of both.

Fusion Music The great classicists did not know of a genre called "classical" - they simply composed music based on their own inspiration, and the music they heard around them - such as the local folk songs.

"Adobo, bastardized cooking and fusion cuisine" from the sassy lawyer's journal Well, when is a dish bastardized and when does it represent a genre known as fusion cuisine? Honestly, I think that the term “fusion cuisine” was coined to put professional chefs at least one stratum above us home cooks. If we mere mortals deviate from a classic dish, it’s called bastardized cooking; if the pros do the same thing, it’s called fusion cuisine. houseonahill.net /index.php/blog/permalink/adobo-bastardized-cooking-and-fusion-cuisine   (278 words)

JazzMando.com Promoting the mandolin as a legitimate, sonorous voice in the jazz genre.

Jazz, jazz-rock, funk, fusion, pop...... - Vinyl Vulture Also, curiously, the funk genre doesn't seem to mean very much to a lot of the arrangers andamp; composers I've spoken to who were writing this sort of music in the 70s. Their theory was that songs that had 'funky' in the title were anything but, however those that had 'freaky' in the title were nearly always the ones to grab. Look at all those Jazz lp's where the one 'funky' track is written up as the 'rock beat' track... www.vinylvulture.co.uk /forum/showthread.php?t=1488   (683 words)

HotBands.com The popularity of rock, especially in the United States, overshadowed fusion to the degree of keeping it out of the mainstream, but bands like The Grateful Dead created a new genre of rock...one that catered especially to the live audience. Fusion had its heyday back in the '70s, when jazz was transforming the boundaries of music with giants like Weather Report, Spiro Gyra, and Tower of Power. Fusion was (in my opinion), the pinnacle of music creativity; incorporating every musical influence and attracting the finest musicians world-wide. www.hotbands.com /reviews/20020401review.php   (2080 words)
