Fusion Trivia

Did you know?

Many of the greatest musicians in history helped to create the genre of fusion. Their efforts, spanning the course of their lifetimes, resulted in this remarkable achievement. Perhaps musicians have always dabbled in some form of fusion, in raw free-form improvization. But it wasn't until the mid to late sixties when it began to explode in popularity.

Artists such as John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis were among some of the greatest who were instrumental (no pun intended) in making fusion a valid form of music.

Today many old-school jazz dinosaurs reject fusion as a passing fad. The fact is that fusion is the highest form of music, requiring way greater levels of musicianship than any other form of music.

The better a musician one gets, the closer one comes to being a fusion musician. One reaches a point where one gets so good, one can't help but cross the line where regular music ends and fusion begins.

Through in-depth meditation and spiritual practice, John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana verified that fusion is the highest musical form of creation. Their spiritual guidance has helped steer fusion in a positive direction.

Jeff Beck's mid-seventies fusion releases sold millions, proving for the first time that fusion has a lucrative commercial value. Fusion has since grown to be the most important genre of music because it's simply on a higher evolutionary scale.
