You bring up something interesting. Sorry, it IS like smooth jazz as far as the music and music values go. The interesting thing I refer to and which is something that goes to the bigger picture of what it is that makes some music appeal to some. ...

I guess I will have to start charging royalties for the use of the word 😊.  Of course, had the OP been reading carefully what has been written instead of always looking for a way to put some sort of negative slant on the topic that he, himself, br...

marqmike, you are welcome and thanks for the post.  I agree with you that the bickering is unfortunate.  It is completely unnecessary and could be avoided if everyone would be more mindful of what you wrote: its music that "communicated to this so...

jzzmusician, no need to apologize, classical music discussion is not new to this thread.  Reich's Minimalist piece Music For 18 Musicians is one of the most interesting contemporary pieces written; almost like being in a dream state for an hour.  ...

Trying to follow your logic and not having much luck; help me out please.****But, Fusion still sucks, unless, it's not considered Jazz, then it's just another genre. **** So, from that comment and your examples I gather that you're  saying that t...

Rok, like you said we are all entitled to our opinions; and my opinion is that you've got it all wrong.  But, let me get this straight, fusion would not suck if it weren't considered jazz.   I get it now.

O-10, like you, I don't mean this to be offensive.  If you want an honest answer, please try again because I have no idea what it is your asking.  I hope it's not what it appears you're asking, because if it is, it is one of the most nonsensical t...

Rok, you're grasping at straws.  Hey, no hard feelings.

O-10, the last thing I want you to do is lie about any of this; your honesty is far more interesting. "Obsession": please allow me to remind you that it was you who wanted to go into fusion "in depth". Once again the problem is that there is no gr...

Rok, you and O-10 still don’t get it: THE GENRE DOESNT MATTER! Is it good music or not? That’s what matters; and whether it is good music or not does not depend on whether any one of us likes it or not. Now, a few clarifications:Enthused? I am ent...

I am afraid that I am not doing Return To Forever's (Chick Corea) "Romantic Warrior" justice with the lack of some commentary.  This recent romp through Fusion has led to my revisiting some of these records and I have to say that this record is an...

Did something happen while I was away?  And what are those thumping sounds?...like the banging of sticks  ☺️Don’t worry Rok, take a deep breath and check this out; it’s going to OK. Here’s another for 1976. Non-fusion from one of the best and most...
