	Fusion Jazz: Flora Purim - Sound Clip - MSN Encarta
		Pioneered by jazz trumpeter Miles Davis in the mid-1960s, fusion jazz generally refers to jazz-rock fusion, the use of electric instruments and rock rhythms along with extended improvisational jazz suites.
		As jazz underwent further transformation at the hands of rock enthusiasts, outside jazz-influenced styles came into the mix, primarily during the 1970s.
		The fusion process was extended to include influences brought to the United States by jazz musicians popular in other countries, especially Latin America.

	Jazz Styles: Hybrids And Related Styles: Fusion
		However, among jazz aficianados, the term is almost invariably associated with the combination of jazz and rock that has evolved into a genre of its own.
		Of course, since both jazz and rock developed out of the blues, this fusion is really only a rejoining of forms of music that share common ancestors.
		Although musicians have been blurring the line between hard bop and R&B (rhythm and blues) for decades, including the soul jazz of the early 1960's, fusion is normally considered to refer to combinations of more "progressive" forms of jazz and rock.

	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.

	Jazz
		For many young musicians in the early 1970s, prog rock was viewed as a style that encouraged a player to become the most accomplished instrumentalist he or she could.
		Thus, while progressive rock and fusion are often discussed in isolation from one another, the two styles shared many of the same kinds of aspirations as well as endured similar types of criticism.
		The kinds of general stylistic similarities that can be found between jazz rock and progressive rock are reinforced when certain specific passages, pieces, or entire albums from the leading groups in both prog rock and fusion seem to cross over.

	Jazz-Rock Fusion: The People, The Music
		Another factor, also sociological, might be the rock business’s near-total hegemony over the music world as the 1960s morphed into the ‘70s; the pinning of a rock-centric label on Miles Davis — a jazz giant — might be nothing less than rock’s expression of its own cultural power at the time.
		In her introduction to the original 1979 edition of the book, she notes that “…although we call this work Jazz-Rock Fusion, we wish to emphasize that not everyone included in it plays a ‘style’ of music that can… be labeled either jazz, rock, or fusion.
		In her preface to the new edition, she notes: “There were critics who contended that the musicians had sold out by combining the elements of rock and jazz to form the musical hybrid which came to be known as fusion, but I do not agree.

		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.
		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.
		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.

		Rock and funk music, on the other hand, emphasize vocals and stick largely to simple compositional forms such as the four-chord, twelve-bar blues and other brief chord progression that repeat continuously.
		Then, during the late 1960s, a partial blending of the soul-funk stream and the jazz stream occurred and was labeled "jazz-rock fusion." Some jazz musicians were not affected by funk, and many funk groups were not affected by jazz.
		But much of the jazz played during the 1970s and 80s was heavily influenced by funk, and some funk groups incorporated more of the improvisation and advanced harmonies found in jazz.

		In the early '70s rock spectrum, another strange musical mutation was gathering force and would soon make a tremendous impact on rock guitar style and technique: the sound of jazz-rock.
		The real pioneer of early jazz-rock though was jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, who began using static rock rhythms in his recordings and allowing his musicians to stretch out with rock inflected solos.
		The two ground-breaking Davis' fusion recordings were 1969's In A Silent Way and 1970's Bitches' Brew, both of which introduced the music world to the English guitarist John McLaughlin.
