Got to go with my own: USA. RTF, Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra (which were actually multi-national). Let's add Pat Metheny, Al Di Meola, Herbie Hancock, Santana, Miles, and Bill Frisell. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

This poll is about bands not solo artists. Mahavishnu was founded in New York City, that's why it was mentioned under USA  ------------- Mindez elmúlt. Ma már tudom köszönteni a szépséget. |

When it comes to jazz, definitely USA, even if it is jazz fusion we're talking about. That said though, there are still some great fusion bands from other nations. ------------- Want to play mafia? Visit http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com" rel="nofollow - here . |

I find the current Norwegian fusion and jazz-related prog "scene" with bands like Jaga, Shining, Grand General etc. very exciting, so it'll have to be Scandinavian Block for me. -------------

Well I don't really think of Zeuhl or Canterbury as Fusion though clearly they both have heavy jazz and rock influences. As you've included them I'll vote accodingly France > British > USA > Scandinavian ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |
