Miles
Weather Report 1971-1974 Hancock Mwandishi band Mahavishnu first incarnation Jazz rock Zappa (Rats, Wazoo, W/J) Area Pekka Pohjola Eberhard Weber Last Exit Aka Moon Tipographica ...based on an admittedly personal view of what constitutes jazz fusion. Steely Dan would be in the list, but as a song-based unit I feel they are in rather a different category. Likewise Sloche which I think of as fusiony prog rather than proggy fusion.

Friede and I were at an Eric Burdon concert once with Brian Auger on organ. at some point in the concert the guitar player broke a string, and Auger immediately improvised a solo until the guitar player had put on another string. it was most impressive

Most of my favorites have already been mentioned but I would like to add National Health and the newer band Amoeba Split.....even though they get put into Canterbury they are very much jazz rock/fusion in my mind

Mine too! Mahavishnu Orchestra, of course! Brand X RTF Chick Corea's Electrik Band Bruford w. Holdsworth, and the unknown John Clark! Not to mention some other more conventional greats like Steely Dan and Chicago! Those bands are not often discussed here. |

oopsie, I forget Oblivion Express
First time I saw him was circa 95 or so.... He played 2.5 h and then seven encores (yes seven distinct encores, not one encore of seven tracks)... and and when the public was tired and started leaving, he came back for an eighth one. He wasted out everyone in the halml except himself and his band (though they were tired)

The first time I saw Brian Auger Oblivion Express was around 1974 at Trenton State College in Trenton, NJ. It was the version of the Oblivion Express with a boyish looking Steve Ferrone. Oh the opening act was some new group from New Jersey, oh yah now I remember their name - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (with David Sancious on piano). Auger was fantastic but it was a tough audience after Bruce.

Yea, I see you’re point, but I do think they both crossed the line at times. I believe Frank Zappa has also done some jazz fusion work; The Grand Wazoo comes to mind. |
