Jazz fusion movement

Jazz fusion is a musical genre that emerged in the late 1960s, blending jazz improvisation and complex harmonies with the energetic rhythms, electric instruments, and technology of rock and funk. It creates a dynamic sound that combines the melodic and technical aspects of jazz with the power and accessibility of contemporary popular music. Notable artists like Miles Davis, Weather Report, and Herbie Hancock helped shape the movement, which appeals to musicians and listeners interested in experimental, virtuosic, and genre-bending compositions. Jazz fusion reflects a fusion of styles, pushing musical boundaries and encouraging innovation.
