	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.
		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.

	Essential Jazz Fusion
		Basically, these are the grandaddies of the marriage of jazz with electronics, rock, funk, and technology.
		The dense, percussion-heavy music heard on this album is very afro-funk/rock centered and remains very controversial to this day among jazz fans.
		Their first album, Mwandishi was fairly straight-ahead free jazz, but the next two, Crossings and Sextant, incorporated the Moog synthesizer work of Dr Patrick Gleeson, and the combination of the band's ambient spacieness, Hancock's Fender Rhodes, and the Moog make these essential listening for anyone interested in the roots of electronica.

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

	jazz rock fusion
		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.

	JAZZ-ROCK /FUSION for Doomies ;) - www.ezboard.com
		I'm a big Jazz Rock Fusion fan and was turned on to it when I saw the original Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1972.
		He’s made a ton of cds, all differents, he’s a master of acoustic guitar (playing in a classical/gypsy jazz style), and his work on electrics is a weird mix of jazz, rock and latin american music.
		Then he decided to start his own band, the mighty ‘Mahavishnu Orchestra’ which was considered to be a rock band but its sophisticated improvisations actually put its high-powered music between rock and jazz.

		The first three original John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra albums are the godhead of jazz-rock fusion, and their next two LPs are pretty damn good as well.
		Because of all the lame fusion music that resulted in their wake, critics and historians have neglected these records.
		When I asked him what kind of music he listened to these days he responded, "Everything, but fusion that is.") That's a shame because the music of the Mahavishnu Orchestra can send listeners into an enlightened state of satori through its inherent spirituality.
