| Jazz for aficionados Good story O-10, and I particularly like your last sentence. As I have said before, for me to participate in a discussion there has to be clarity. I believe it was I that used the term "the reality", so I will respond to your comment about that. I... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, no discussion of 70s fusion would be complete without a look (listen) at two of the fusion bands which leaned more to the rock side of things (although I would imagine not to the side of Rok):https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XU4yAk6qYUshttps://... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, I always appreciate your attempts to bring calm to the proceedings here. You are correct, we do know that Rok's gotta be Rok; same as everyone. I would say that Rok insists on being Rok with little interest in filtering his comments; comment... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Rok, I think that as suggested recently, you really must be a troll; I don't think it's possible to be able to read and write (sort of) and be such an idiot. Anything positive or insightful to contribute? | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, IPad arrived just one hour ago. I will repost. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Yeah, very weird. New IPad arrives in a day or so; don't like the Kindle at all, it does strange things. I did find (think) that if one copy/paste the URL link into a new search it usually works. "Have you gone digital?" Horrors!!! No. Well, only ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados From one of my very favorite fusion records of the 70s:https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=rbynfCYDfuI&list=PL6uybVkHc-ES46u4tFtERWZKa9E_LZbv5 | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman3, you are still on a roll; some great stuff posted; thanks. The Gary Burton clip is as much of a contrast with the Elvin Jones clip as is possible. One very intellectual and, as you said, more out there; the other (Jones) earthy and visceral... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, as you said, nice groove on the Jutta Hipp clip. However, I think there's a reason why she takes only takes a couple of choruses to Zoot's four. She has been posted before and my feelings haven't changed; a decent, but unimpressive player wi... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O-10, no need for con-fusion; while a marriage of any two styles can be called a fusion, its probably wise to keep the term to mean jazz-rock fusion which is as most understand it. There is little by Horace Silver that I don't like. BTW, the tenor... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well, while I have not been innocent myself, I think that infrequent comments on a thread (out of context) should be kept a impersonal as possible. Having said that, there is truth to what Chazro says; there IS a misunderstanding about modern jazz... | |

| Jazz for aficionados O-10, liked the Jean Luc clip. I have always liked some of his stuff. It's always well crafted from a compositional standpoint and very good playing WITHIN THAT FUSION STYLE. I disagree with Rok's take on the improvisation. Very atmospheric and pl... |
