my opinion only of course.
music is subjective....

in my circles at least hot rats and bitches brew are generally considered the first real jazz fusion albums.

hot rats came out in october of 69. bitches brew was march of 70 i believe.
that said i am pretty sure bitches brew was completed first.

i also need to say that i am a frank zappa freak. probably to the point of extreme. i also need to say that lately i have been getting heavy into miles davis. im a strings guy so it took a while to gravitate to the horns but i have. composition wise miles was on point. i still think zappa had that extra something special.
they both had killer musicians working with them. just amazing.

i do think unless you are more of a freaky/strange/odd person and/or devour all types of music frank(and most of his various band members) do not get the recognition they deserve.

might be a pointless thread but i have been thinking about this the past few days so i felt like sharing.
