Alex and O-10, Thanks for the input:Well, I'll go first: Got this from Wiki. They mention "Jazz Approach" and "Jazz Elements". They never call it Jazz. Jazz fusion is a musical fusion genre that developed from "mixing funk and rhythm and blues rhy...

The point of my 'ridiculous' comparisons is to highlight and demonstrate the differences between Traditional Jazz Players, and the so-called 'Fusion' crowd. Playing the same music, so as to easier ID the differences, if any. I noticed you didn't c...
