Fusion

Description

Fusion is a genre that combines elements of jazz with other styles of music, particularly rock, funk, and R&B. It is characterized by complex rhythms, extended instrumental solos, and a blend of acoustic and electric instruments.

History

Fusion emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as jazz musicians began experimenting with electric instruments and incorporating elements of rock and funk into their music. This genre was part of a broader movement of musical experimentation during this period, with artists seeking to break traditional boundaries and explore new sounds.
