Well I don't think I've seen/read you around either here or in ProgArcives, so welcome
 Well isn't that exactly what jazz-rock is all about
 ?? A non-obvious bridge between the two music genres .Hopefully BB will one day sink in, because it's one of those cornerstone albums... but you might want to try the previous in A Silent Way of the next one Tribute To Jack Johnson

I did not know it. Anyway, I think that "Star People" is a good album. |

"We want Miles' has some very rockin moments. From what I understand, Miles told guitarist Mike Stern to play like Van Halen.

Probably one of the best representatives of fusion would be Weather Report with Alphonso Johnson on bass, the "Mysterious Traveler" album for example.

I don't mind experimental at all, my only beef with Brew was it didn't feel too jazzy, but also not very rock-y. Almost like in bridging the gap it doesn't feel like either one.
Just my screwy opinion Thanks for the recs! Any other jazz fusion is welcomed. I of course like Al di Meola and have an album by Mahavishnu Orchestra which I love. |

My fav jazz artist is Charlie. He hangs out in the park with his sax and is a character out of the 1940's. He's not great, but is improving each day and damn he has heart. That's what its all about!

If you want some fusion that is a little more straight ahead and less experimental than Brew, try Miles' 'We want Miles', excellent guitar solos from Mike Stern on that one.
I also like the psychedelic space funk of Agharta by Miles. That one features the incredible Pete Cosey on guitar. I think there are reviews up for both albums.

I have Bitches Brew, and it's not bad but I honestly am not a huge fan of it.
However, I have heard that he has some other fusion albums that are really great as well. So please recommend Related note: Any jazz fusion welcome! |
