Jazz-Fusion

Description

Jazz-Fusion is a genre that blends elements of jazz with other styles, particularly rock, funk, and R&B. It often features electric instruments, complex time signatures, and extended improvisation.

History

Jazz-Fusion emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as jazz musicians began to incorporate electric instruments and rock rhythms into their music. This genre was pioneered by artists like Miles Davis and bands such as Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra, who sought to push the boundaries of traditional jazz by integrating it with contemporary music styles.
