At the the end of the sixties many jazz musicians wanted to become rock stars. Miles Davis with “Bitches Brew” and “Live-Evil” was one of the first to embrace the use of electronic instruments. Many others jumped on the bandwagon and distorted trumpet and saxophone became the norm. It spawned the much maligned jazz-fusion movement. This mix concentrates, for the most part, on the early experiments with electronics, before the edges were smoothed out. There’s some seriously good music on here - embrace your inner jazz-rockness!

The cure for my ills today .. BiG respect and love my brother on the recoding and arrangement :
Always love to cure ills...
That's why I love your approach. I find it impossible to limit myself to one genre or time period.
A (broad) mind is a terrible thing to waste!
Enjoyed this! Some people deride fusion but, I grew up on electric Miles. I'll always love it!
Interestingly, (so far) this has been one of my least popular mixes! The Mixcloud community seem quite fickle, never sure what’s going to play well. Personally I enjoy a wide selection of forms of music, so I like to reflect that in my mixes.
Superb once again.
Thanks man, appreciate your nice comment.
Looks too good not to fave. A Zappa cover as well as Hal Galper, Nucleus, Eddie Henderson, Michael White AND Soft Machine. My kind of fusion mix. I shall dive in ASAP.
King Kong’s for you!
Always a new experience your twists and turns in Jazz - and that is never a bad thing :) top banana weekend
