 | | 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. |
