They are different words.

The truth is they're both terms for the same sort of thing and you'll find both cropping up in reviews. Nobody's trying to claim there's a difference.

FUSION means mixing different styles, so jazz-rock may be included in it. You have flamenco-rock, jazz-rock, folk-rock... and many many other examples (usually mixing rock with anything else). However, usually JAZZ-ROCK is also called JAZZ-FUSION, or just FUSION (since it's the most known fusion style)....and I think that's where CONFUSION begins....

i think that fusion is ussually closer to jazz and is ussually played by jazz musicians and jazz rock may be geared more toward rock

Fusion is a combination of Rock and Jazz that is sufficiently different from both to deserve its own label. Jeff Beck is a fusion artist, for example. It's neither Jazz nor Rock, but Fusion. Jazz Rock is just Rock with a Jazz vibe to it.

Not true.

Sweden's EST play jazz fusion but where's the rock? Sweden's Jens Johansson plays jazz rock (Fission, Heavy Machinery). Sweden's Jonas Hellborg plays many types of jazz fusion, including jazz rock, but not exclusively jazz rock. And Norway's Jan Garbarek plays various types of jazz fusion, but I can't think of any jazz rock albums.

Um... I don't think you'd really hear any elevators playing Mahavishnu Orchestra any time soon...

Camel - now THAT'S the muzak of prog.
