Obsessed With Music

Miles Davis's album Bitches Brew has got to be one of the best fusion albums of all time. Very abstract, ambient and minimal...but some very interesting stuff.

Other jazz-rock fusion artists I've liked over the years:

Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea (and his band Return to Forever), Weather Report, Go, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jan Hammer, Jean Luc-Ponty (electric violin), Pat Metheny, ......

Here's one piece...

Return to Forever - The Romantic Warrior 1976

Stanley Clarke

School Days

great funky jazz rock. this one a lot closer to rock than to jazz.

the audio from the video is original, from album. The guy doing video must be dedicating it to his dad or something....which is all cool and fine, but put me off for a second.

I think You Tube takes the original down very quickly...so usually the only thing left are live versions, that he did recently. The original is from 1975. The newer stuff is great too, but a lot more towards jazz than the original...

Weather Report - Birdland
