| To a lot of jazz fans, fusion can have a certain excessiveness that is more similar to rock than jazz. I like early fusion, but I know a lot of my friends who were into Bop were not into it at all. |

For me Black Market and a few others albums in that genre marked a new much-slicker era than the previous rawer and more powerful stuff from yesteryears.

I like the early fusion from 67-71, then the "classic" era from 72-74. After that, it's hit or miss (more hit than miss, until the late 70s) but it's hard to really say, some artists/bands peaked at different times in this genre. Some didn't even start until around 72-74 From my experience, if it came out before 1979, it's almost guaranteed at least "good", and most times it's gold. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm |

Near the top for me as well. Guess its because when I first got into many of these artists, it was from a prog point of view. At least things like Soft Machine and Brand X and such. Stuff like Weather Report i actually explored through the jazz side of things. Probably strange, but there you have it. And this kind of fusion is much better to my ears than more modern fusion of today (like Niacin and the like). The 70s were indeed great for music. ------------- Hit it on Five.

| Fusion was my gateway into the world of jazz music. As a bass player, I was looking for some instrumentalists to listen to, and the name Jaco kept coming up. I heard he was in Weather Report, and thankfully my dad has a number of their albums on vinyl. I started there, then went to Return to Forever, then probably Herbie Hancock/Headhunters. The first time I heard Bitches Brew (not quite 70s but close enough) I didn't know what to make of it. A second listen months later got me to appreciate it more, and from there I branched out to Miles' other work, his sidemens' other work, etc. until I had full-blown jazz-itis. |

Listening to "The Eighties" by Chick Corea I reflected on how Fusion could be born (listening to "Essential Miles Davis" stands out more): at some point for some Jazz musicians acoustic sounds and rhythms Bop and Hard Bop were tight. Looking for new sounds they encountered in electric/ electronic instruments (bass, keyboards ...). They have tried to use it and understood the potential of these instruments they have included these instruments in their music. Of course it was all natural ... The first Fusion of Miles Davis was an electric version of what has been done so far. I got it wrong? ------------- |

http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/return-to-forever.aspx" rel="nofollow - - Romantic Warrior Album · 1976 · Classic Fusion http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/return-to-forever--romantic-warrior.aspx" rel="nofollow">
Return To Forever... One of the most great and ingenious band in the world: Jazz, Rock or... Whatever it play! In this case RTF play a type of Fusion that is too close to Prog Rock. In my opinion with "Romantic Warrior" are inserted between instruments duels that will be taken by many Heavy Metal groups. This due to the style of Al Di Meola on guitar and Stanley Clarke on bass. Another point is the insertion of Classic Music partiture in a Rock partiture with Jazz treatment. The production is too close to Rock than to Jazz and, also for this motive, I think that the music of "Romantic Warrior is close to Prog Metal. Not for this, or due for this, the music of this "Romantic Warrior" is more Fusion that other Fusion music.  Interestig are the instruments duels, what makes Jazz the music, because the rest is pure Rock, Hard Rock. The sound of keyboards is powerfully joyful as the guitars and the bass is incredibly powerful, as the percussive instruments are a great motor. The arrangiaments are in Jazz style but the writing style is a mix between Classic Music and Rock, as is incredibly evident in "Duel Of The Jester And The Tyrant" or in "Majestic Dance", in this case in a great mix with Folk. The power of music are mixed with the Latino sensibility of Corea and Di Meola, the power of Stanley Clarke and the Jazz motor of Lenny White: now the music it is as if it were still 1976: the magic and the feeling are still too evident! I have not other words to describe this incredible album, a Masterpiece of XXth Century music, Jazz, Rock, Fusion, Classic Music or Heavy Metal that it is! ------------- |

Only that this album is all acoustic. But this is only a small detail.Bill Bruford was the drummer of Yes and King Crimson and in first UK album Bill plays a good related Jazz Rock version of Symphonic Prog. So it seemed natural, even considering the evolution of King Crimson, that Bill conceive great Jazz albums. I do not have other albums by Bill (soloist or with Earthworks) but this live album is extremely good, for me. Fusion or not (but this is fusion? Hmmm... Because no?) Bill played with great technique and precision and the rest of the band is great (Steve Hamilton to piano is a great machine as Patrick Clahar to saxes). In general this album is for connoisseurs, although very immediate and not too technical. As in other jazz albums, for me is the final result that should OK, for me. 2 hours of Jazz that weigh no to anyone and, of course, frees the mind. It is clear that this album present more Jazz that Rock. And not because acoustic. In definitive if for you Bill Bruford is only Yes, King Crimson or UK... You are outside of the road. Bill Bruford is only a drummer, in this case a great Jazz drummer. That please you or not. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/chick-corea.aspx" rel="nofollow - - The Eighties Boxset / Compilation · 2003 · Classic Fusion http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/chick-corea--the-eighties%28compilation%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">  : My review is based on: Emarcy/ Universal059 878-2"Eighties" is a Chick Corea compilation focused on 1986/ 1993 production. Not all compositions are Classic Fusion but, in a good view, this is the genre that is good for this compilation. In this compilation compositions have been included enough interesting for a general audience but also for those who love Jazz. In general these compositions (that please me all at the same manner... Also if "Trance Dance", "Got A Match?" and "Blue Miles" have a superior magic, for me) not present virtuoso or solo parts complicated or heavy, tired and confused that who does not love Jazz. In other words, Rock is not the base of the songs and Jazz is only a colour, because Fusion, also in Fusion composition, is only a component of the music. But if you search POP Jazz in Chick Corea you are outside of the road. Corea's music is 100% traditional Jazz but written for a generalist audience, so that the contamination are present but not invadents. Certainly acoustic or electric the music of Armando "Chick" Corea not change. And also this compilation present only 10 composotion composed between 1986 and 1993 for the presence of excellent musicians (all stars of modern Jazz) I think that if you do not have nothing of Chick Corea this is a good compilation. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/billy-cobham.aspx" rel="nofollow - - The Best Of Boxset / Compilation · 1979 · Classic Fusion
http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/billy-cobham--the-best-of%28compilation%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">  My review is based on: Atlantic 7567-81558-2Billy Cobham is one of my preferred drummer. In my opinion this "The Best Of" is a good compilation if you do not know Billy Cobham. All the songs are written by the same Billy cobham except "Do What Cha Wanna" that is written by George Duke and that is performed live with George Duke Band. Except for "Quadrant 4" that is a savage Heavy Metal/ Jazz fusion with double bass drums the rest of the album is more funkysh. But the great technique of Billy on drums was great also if the music is funkysh. In definitive view Billy Cobham is a great drummer and good songwriten. That in 70's are at his apex. And this compilation is good. Not only for Billy's newbies. ------------- |

http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/jack-dejohnette.aspx" rel="nofollow - - Sorcery Album · 1974 · Classic Fusion http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/jack-dejohnette--sorcery.aspx" rel="nofollow">  "Sorcery" isn't a Fusion album but an album of Electric Bop. And for this motive "Sorcery" is an album of Fusion. Unreservedly Jack DeJohnette able to record an album very technical and easy to read. This is because Jack has a great musical sensibility and, in a period where everyone was trying to play hard, he tries to communicate what the music can be emotion and melody. With these ingredients "Sorcery" becomes an album of POP Fusion but not an album of POP Jazz, because 100% Bop. (P.s.: I do not have other words to describe this concept... Excuse me). The experience of "Sorcery" is a soert of trip to the dreams and shadows of an human mind and for this fact I think that "Sorcery" is a good album if magic, inventive and feelings are what we seek in music. ------------- |

I got into jazz fusion through the prog side of things, and fusion is 95% of the jazz I listen to. I`m listening to a Soft Machine live CD from the period where Holdsworth was playing guitar for them right now and loving it. Some great bands not yet mentioned in this thread are Passport and Nucleus, two of the first bands I got into when I started discovering fusion. It`s hard to draw the line between fusion jazz and canterburry prog, I really enjoy Gilgamesh and National Health and I`d say they`re pretty darn close to being fusion.
Rahmann only released one album, but it`s a damn good one. I concider it fusion, but it`s often classified as Zeuhl or RIO because of it`s association with Magma (a band of which I am NOT a fan)
Hermann Szobel only recorded one album and then disapeared off the face of the world, but it is easily in my top 5 70`s fusion records and well worth checking out for anyone who has never heard it
Bill bruford`s 2 studio and 1 live albums in the fusion genre are also excellent, although I`m not a fan of earthworks
And although they`ve been mentioned, I want to point out thtta the first 3 al di meola records, the first 2 Brand X records and all the musc Mahavishnu Orchestra released in the 70`s are pure gold and amongst the best music ever produced
We should open a thread for fusion post-70s thats worth checking out. Overall the quality of fusion is far from being what it used to be, but we do have some great bands still banging out awesome fusion records like Planeta Imaginario (borderling canterburry prog again) and One Shot (yet another Magma-associated band yet I dislike the ``original`` band so much)

Features might be united to some degree as the music character of PMG. Each characteristic and the idea by ECM and Geffen might have joined it, too. PMG in the 80's might often have the element of World Fusion. I think initial PMG also for an experimental element to exist as a subjective opinion. I thought one directionality to have been established when Pat Metheny announced the off-ramp. Point that Pat Metheny considered band anyway. And, it is convinced that the existence of Lyle Mays is very important for PMG. |

Really not a fan of most 80's fusion.... It had lost all kinds of energy compared to the 70's.... bad synth and shoddy 80's production values are also major setbacks. It's why I don't really like ECM-type of fusion.... too cool and dead, IMHO.
90's are not much better, but it seems that energy levels were on the rise... and some of those 80's trademarks disappeared
Of couse, synclaviers (I refuse to put a capital s to that crap) are the worst thing that could've happened to jazz guitar.... it took all of the biting edge of guitar sounds and smoothed it out beyond commen sense.
Listen to McL throughout the 80's, he sounds like a weenie version of his former self

overall I agree about the 80s, but there was good stuff from that decade. 90's fusion is generally my least preferred, which is why I love 2000s fusion. It's like a fusion of 70s fusion with 2000s rock/metal energy, or maybe infuse more funk and jazz. Either way, I think I like 2000s fusion so much because of the great production values compared to 80s and 90s ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm |

Yes. Post Soft Machine collaboration with Ric Sanders, jazz rock folk made before the violinist headed off to the Fairports - issued on CD by Blueprint.

The question is, which era of 70s fusion is the best? The 1969-1972 era, or the 1973-1976 era? First one was overall more psychedelic inspired, spacey, still very jazzy, raw, and really open; whereas the second brought more funky moods, synthesizers, tighter rhythms, and felt more composed.

I'm really a first wave JR/F fan (preferring Mwandishi to Head Hunters by a million miles >> notwithstanding Davis of course  ) , but the real break for me came later than these two periodsI really think that the funk became even more evident in JR/F after 76, and notably when Pastorius joined WR (Black Market) >> This is a totally personal view, but the influence that album had on everyone kind of triggered or provoked what I view as JR/F's decline... Of course before that BM album, we'd seen plenty of jazzers try out their luck solo ventures in funk-jazz rock or jazz-funk as I like to call it (thinking of Stanley Clarke, for ex)... ------------- my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones.... |

Jaco changed the entire landscape of jazz-rock/fusion in 1976 (that's kinda why I made the cut-off '76). Just about every fusion bassist to come out after that was inspired by Jaco in some way or another.

Maybe for some 80s and 90s fusion albums, but many of the 2000s and 2010s fusion albums I've heard, where the bassist is influenced by Jaco (or Victor Wooten), they're more tasteful, not to mention I feel the genre has improved since around the mid-2000s.

This is a compilation album.... It concentrates on the four Polydor albums (from LaaF to No Mystery), but adds some previously unavailable great live tracks from different eras (not just 7thG)
It's about time I order it (only heard it through the library system)
