Fusion
4 Answers
I am seriously fortunate to be attending the Montreal Jazz Festival this week - working for the magazines for whom I write.
Last night, I saw the Wayne Shorter Quartet, a sold out show at around seventy pounds a ticket - I went because I interviewed his bass player earlier in the day, and I am due to interview his drummer, so I wanted to see them in action.
I have to admit I didnt understand any of it!`
Fusion always reminds me of Jazz Club on the Fast Show, and I know they are taking the mick, but it sounds the same to me!
Can anyone explain the appeal of Fusion to me - I feel it is an area of which I am ignorant, and I want to adjust that feeling.

It`s nearly 90 degrees here, and the word `jazz`is used very loosely indeed - James Taylor opened the Festival, Van Der Graaf Generator and Tangerine Dream are playing here, as is Kelly Joe Phelps, Seal, and Liza Minelli is closing. It`s a chance to see and experience bands I would not get to see at home.
By the time I get home I wil have seen a combination of shows that, had I paid for them here, would have cost me over a thousand pounds in ticket prices, so yes, I am seriously lucky!!!
