Sundog Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Is fusion jazz + rock or rock + jazz or something else entirely? Quote
jazzypaul Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 tell that to Scott Henderson and Tribal Tech. No, please, really, tell the guys in Tribal Tech. They get on my nerves. If their music is dead, they might stop. Quote
Michael Fitzgerald Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Ask Barry Miles. He knows what "Fusion Is...". Mike Quote
Guest akanalog Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 well fusion doesnt have to be + rock. it can be + indian music or + folk or whatever. Quote
Alexander Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 All jazz is a fusion of something...blues, ragtime, marches, European art music...Jazz has been fusion since day one. The day jazz stops "fusing" with other musics, it will cease to be jazz... Quote
jazzbo Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 If you see jazz fission happening, kiss your ass goodbye. Quote
7/4 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 A mixture of styles. In India, it could mean a fusion of North and South Indian music. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 The day jazz stops "fusing" with other musics, it will cease to be jazz... ← I've determined that most of what I like tends to have a lot of 'other' things mixed in it than 'jazz.' Rock, free improvisation, non-Western music, etc., so it really does little good to define fusion differently from really any other blues-based (or non-) improvised musical expression. Quote
mikeweil Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 Yes jazz was fusion from the start and always will be or it will die. But "Fusion" in the narrower sense of the word is used by fans to describe a musical style that fuses jazz and rock and some funk, usually less on the jazz side. Quote
JSngry Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 An ingredient for fusion. among other things. Quote

Robert J Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 I'd prefer jazz frisson (or was that frottage?) Quote
DTMX Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 It's a little bit country, a little bit rock'n'roll. Quote
Jazz Kat Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 And rhythm and blues too! Yes, Donny's very funky! Quote
7/4 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 And rhythm and blues too! Yes, Donny's very funky! ← He was even in a Jeff Beck video. Quote
Ed S Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 What's bebop?? ← Don't you mean who's Bebop??? Quote
Ed S Posted September 9, 2005 Report Posted September 9, 2005 As far as fusion goes, I entered jazz via the fusion route in the early 70s - RTF, Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles, Billy Cobham, Herbie Hancock. I have just one word to utter........................ respect Quote
