Bitches Brew is the best FUsion album.

Bitches Brew is the best FUsion album.

When I first heard 'BB', I had no idea what was happening at all, and I kept playing it, and putting it on headphones, and it occured to me pretty quickly that this was just amazing..................flowing music. Band chemistry in that context just reaching into the portals and going somewhere that had not quite been before. And I want a big poster of the artwork (both sides).

The albums songs are brilliant.Order through the Chaos of the music. It starts out, build up, and resolves to this weird brilliant cohesion of all ( read: MANY ) Instruments. Its incredible.

i must listen to this album.

frank gambale solo got awesome stuff too. i'd like to have ''free jazz festival'' back.

while we're on the subject of fusion, 'Apocalypse' by Mahavishnu Orchestra is a sickly underrated album. Everyone pays all the attention to the first two with the original band, and those are both excellent, but so is this. Something only that time period could produce. The new Orchestra was more creative in some ways and McLaughlin also got the London Symphony Orchestra to play on the tracks. It ventures out of jazz, into fusion, into prog, and just becomes kind of inclassifiable with the traditional 'classical' instrumentation tossed in.



not the piece I would choose to post, but I can't find any of the other studio stuff from it on YouTube. The live 'Vision Is A Naked Sword' which is also on there is amazing, however...




But, it really is just best to experience the atmosphere of the album itself as a whole to become familiar.

thank you man. i've trying to remember the name of this band for a long time. a friend of mine said me amazing things about them. mahavishnu!

I've been listening a lot to Jan Johansson's Jazz på Svenska lately, and it's actually the only jazz I've heard without saxophone or similar instruments (there's only piano and bass) and it's pretty damn sweet.

I would like to hear more good jazz with other instrumentation.

Mahavishnu Orchestra is jazz fusion and uses the traditional rock band set-up + violin. Its heavily guitar based.

 

[Vimana]

Return To Forever are Jazz fusion and use the traditional rock band set up.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Never cared much for the traditional rock band set up, but I guess I'll look into both of your suggestions.

[razoredge]

weird

doestn care for the "traditional rock band set up"
wants jazz without the instruments used in jazz

so we want a jazz band with... accordian, harmonica and a dude slapping his knees with spoons ? sounds like cajoun but then they sometimes have guitar, bass and drums, so rule that out... thats the uncared for traditional rock band set up.... but so is piano and bass

me, I wanna find a metal band that has no guitars, no drums, no bass and no keys... then Ill be happy

dont we have two jazz recomondation threads ?

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]
