fusion jazz

Fusion jazz is a genre that blends jazz with other musical styles, especially rock, funk, and R&B. It emerged in the late 1960s, characterized by electric instruments, energetic rhythms, and improvisation. Musicians combine complex jazz chords and improvisation with the grooves and sounds of contemporary popular music, creating a dynamic and innovative style. Fusion often features technical mastery and experimentation, resulting in music that is both sophisticated and accessible. It broadens jazz’s boundaries, appealing to diverse audiences while maintaining the improvisational spirit at its core.
