 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.
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.
Fusion albums - often even those that are made by the same artist - include a variety of musical styles.

 Cold fusion - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music
The term "cold fusion" was coined by Dr Paul Palmer of Brigham Young University in 1986 in an investigation of "geo-fusion", or the possible existence of fusion in a planetary core.
He had since turned his attention to the problem of fusion in high-pressure environments, believing that fusion in the metallic hydrogen core of Jupiter might be responsible for the higher than normal temperatures of that planet.
The vast majority of scientists consider current cold fusion research to be pathological science, while proponents argue that they are conducting valid experiments that challenge mainstream science (see history of science and technology).

 Jazz History - Jazz Fusion
"Fusion" has often been described as the melding of jazz with rock styles, although most fusion music initially drew from the rhythmic and harmonic aspects of soul music, particularly the music of James Brown and Sly Stone.
Miles's earliest experiment with fusion was documented on his 1968 recording Miles In The Sky, with the song "Stuff." Featuring Herbie Hancock on electric piano and Tony Williams playing a funky back beat, "Stuff" illustrated the genesis of this musical style.
Such harmonic material found in soul music was also similar to the modal improvisation developed by Miles Davis, Bill Evans, and John Coltrane in the late 1950s and '60s.

 Music: Fusion Revisited (Nashville Scene . 11-02-98)
Fusion arguably remains the most maligned and misunderstood idiom in jazz music.
As fusion devolved into the tepid morass now known as "smooth jazz," those who'd either ignored or completely dismissed it from the beginning felt justified.
This music is so forceful, unpredictable, and hypnotic, it's hard to fathom why critics like Stanley Crouch insist that it's inferior to Davis' classics from other eras.

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.

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