funkypenguin Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 That Billy Cobham video is fantastic!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKGl4gjoO9A&feature=related Only recently discovered Alex Machacek, great guitar player. For those into music based around improvisation check out the CD 'Improvisation' featuring Machacek, Matthew Garrison and Jeff Sipe. Its heavy listening but the standard of playing is off this planet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7oQPCmbWA8&feature=fvwrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoombung Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 For me, this is a good example of where 'fusion' is going now. Much more interesting than a lot of the historical examples above, IMO. http://youtu.be/5hVhSBZz2qI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JapanAxe Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) To me, fusion is a bit like dogging. I have no objection to people doing it if that's what they want, just don't ask me to join in! EDIT: Or watch for that matter.

ossie Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 No one has mentioned Return To Forever, Stan's the man, and the combination of him Corea, Lenny White and Al Dimeola has its moments. Or what about Mahavishnu Orchestra, Billy Cobham is 'god of drums' in my book (although I always thought Rick Laird was a bit mediocre). Isn't Jazz Funk fusion? Love everything funky from Stan, Marcus to the Brand New Heavies etc. After all - Funk is its own reward !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzMike Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 That Aristocrats stuff is fantastic, thanks for putting it up! There is one pretty decent - IMHO - fusion band that plays locally here in Estonia, Phlox: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIcIpzx2Lbs&feature=relmfu"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIcIpzx2Lbs&feature=relmfu[/url] I don't really get the negative comments about fusion. Every genre of music has it's stronger and weaker moments. (shrug). I guess I got into it at a young age - I found a vinyl copy of 'Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy' for a few bucks when I started playing bass and bought it because I liked the cover - lucky find, and listening to it blew my mind.

[/quote] Even better live, i caught their show in Manchester earlier in the year, the best band ive ever seen. Guthrie, Bryan Beller and Marco are all absolute monster players.

RoRi Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Chlorine Free playing live one of the songs of their CD/LP "Start fresh" (2011). (My favourite CD of that year).

BassBus Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Nice stuff. I don't think I've ever heard a flute in fusion before. Have to dig mine out and have a go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
