	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, 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.
		The merging of jazz and pop/rock music took a more commercial direction in the early 1980s, in the form of shorter, more melodic compositions that could fit comfortably in a soft rock radio playlist.

	Jazz Primer for Rock People page 1 of 12
		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.
		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.

	The Assassination of Jazz Rock
		Rock was popular and in the late 1960's at least, it demonstrated at least a superficial openness to experiment that attracted jazz players.
		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.
		Szabo was barely rock, and Sonny Sharrock actually was essentially the first extroverted free jazz electric guitarist- I lost count of the number of reviews of Sharrock that asserted that he couldn't play, yet he, along with Derek Bailey was one of the great guitar innovators of the 1960's and beyond.

	Jazz-Rock Fusion: The People, The Music
		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.
		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.

	Fusion Arts - Jazz/Fusion Web Resources - fusion so hot it will scorch your ears!!!
		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 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.
