	Jazz Primer for Rock People \| page 1 of 12
		As I said before, for this Jazz Primer, I am going to assume that you are familiar with music in general, and may have heard of a few of the musicians I will mention, but really know next to nothing about jazz.
		In the case of a jazz orchestra, it might be whole horn sections, or in the case of a trio, might be a lone sax or trumpet.
		In the hands of a jazz musician, a rhythm, a melody, or a song is filtered through the style of the musician and becomes a personal expression.

	Jazz fusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jazz artists, in the wake of developments in pop music, also began using the recording studio—with its improved editing, multitrack recording, and electronic effects capability—as an adjunct to composition and improvisation.
		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.
		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.

	Encyclopedia: Jazz-rock fusion (Site not responding. Last check: )
		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.
		Musical barriers broke down further (to the continued horror of jazz purists) as musicians who had first established themselves as rock artists such as Jeff Beck began to experiment with the fusion form.
		While jazz fusion is sometimes lampooned as being pretentious and overcomplicated - not unlike its cousin, progressive rock (rock meets classical music) - it has helped to break down boundaries between different genres and led to developments such as acid jazz.

	The Assassination of Jazz Rock (Site not responding. Last check: )
		At that time, jazz players consistently downplayed the instrumental ability of their brethren in the rock world and with few exceptions, they were right at that stage.
		In the 1960's, jazz was at a commercial low point, and some players saw this commercial low point as being a criticism of the state of jazz, that it had lost its ability to communicate to the masses.
		Rock was popular and in the late 1960's at least, it demonstrated at least a superficial openness to experiment that attracted jazz players.

	A definition of Progressive Rock
		Progressive rock ("prog") is an ambitious, eclectic, and often grandiose style of rock music which arose in the late 1960s principally in England, reaching the peak of its popularity in the early 1970s, but continuing as a musical form to this day.
		Progressive rock artists sought to move away from the limitations of radio formatted rock and pop, and "progress" rock to the point that it could achieve the sophistication of jazz or classical music.
		Rock and Pop Bands and Artists after 1970 who were not truly “prog” (as that term is generally and broadly defined, even by the site), but who were clearly not “mainstream” or simply “rock” bands.

		Manfred Mann via his Chapter III band (prior to the Earth Band) combined jazz and rock in their 2 albums Vol.1 and Vol.2.
		But if you're talking "commercial" or "smooth-jazz rock" outfits, I'd have to go with Blood, Sweat and Tears and Chicago's first 3-4 albums, although the former's first album is more in the vein of a late 60s blues rock band.

		Another factor, also sociological, might be the rock businessâs near-total hegemony over the music world as the 1960s morphed into the â70s; the pinning of a rock-centric label on Miles Davis —; a jazz giant — might be nothing less than rockâs expression of its own cultural power at the time.

	Folk, jazz and rock music in Finland — Virtual Finland
		Finnish jazz will be celebrating its 80th anniversary in a few years, since jazz was brought to Finland, as the story goes, by American musicians who arrived on the M/S Andania in 1926.

		The trickles of diversity in the field of Finnish pop and rock have merged into a stream allowing for all kinds of music, and increased professionalism and stiffening competition has not managed to stifle the greatest asset of Finnish popular music: unprejudiced experimentation and a sense of humour.

		But as rock became more creative and its musicianship improved, and as some in the jazz world became bored with hard bop and did not want to play strictly avant-garde music, the two different idioms began to trade ideas and occasionally combine forces.
		Of the first experiments with jazz and rock were done by Miles Davis on the records "In A Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew" released in 1969, when acoustic instruments were replaced by electric ones.
		Unfortunately, as it became a moneymaker and as rock declined artistically from the mid-1970's on, much of what was labelled fusion was actually a combination of jazz with easy-listening pop music and lightweight r&b; crossover, what started out as an artistic movement at some point moved to a commercial sound and was marketed as so.

		But the way I always saw it, all that honk-squee stuff was just one part of rock 'n' roll getting ready to be born, a great cry of freedom from the constraints of "good" music, perhaps even the cerebral conceits of bebop.
		The reason for all this blather is that I'm just about to try and convince you that punk rock and the very best jazz can not only coexist among one group of musicians performing together at one time, but that successful examples of said mutant hybrid already exist in abundance.
		Also more on the jazz side, though he plays some of the same venues, is the much-publicized James "Blood" Ulmer, a musician who obviously has lots of ideas that in my opinion he hasn't worked out to their fullest yet.

		To anyone familiar with how Tyner's music works, there was a wealth of suggestion in the way that urgent downbeat note began his opening phrase -- a suggestion of great harmonic uplift and rhythmic buoyancy, and especially of unfailing emotional strength.
		Underground jazz musicians are an international community -- everyone seems to know everyone else, everywhere -- so it was only right that Americans, Canadians and Europeans representing several generations played together this week at the Hungry Brain nightclub on West Belmont.
