70's Jazz Rock Fusion is my favorite Jazz genre. For various reasons it is the only Jazz genre that I followed.

as cheesy and stuck in the 70s the stuff is, it's great music-- I even still like DiMeola's early stuff, dated as it is

Mahavishnu Orchestra, Al Di Meola and Stanlry Clarke are similar in certain musical ideas.
Leb I Sol are great band frrom Macedonia. Perigeo is a great band from Italy.

Maybe ADM, but it's definitely not the first word that comes to mind when thinking of 70's JR/F

yea, what? If anything was cheesy, it probably came out in the very late 70s, and even then there was still good stuff coming out at those times. |

I don't know, I see what he means.
It's due in part to musical cliches. Edited by triceratopsoil - 24 Apr 2011 at 6:51pm |

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.

My favourite jazz genre though I understand why it may not be amongst the purists with a lot of stuff leaning more heavily towards the rock side. So much great stuff in the seventies.....

I think that maybe is my favorite jazz sub genre too. Of course it isn't pure jazz. But it is a good kind of music.

No mentions of Weather Report yet. I bought Heavy Weather recently. A fantastic album with great playing and a more mellow traditional Jazz approach then a lot of other Fusion

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. Edited by darkshade - 25 Apr 2011 at 4:15pm |

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.

This is what I like and not just the same handful of bands. There was much more that created the genre so let's here about them also.
