He asked about a dedicated group with a unique style. Naturally I thought of the Miles group. Fusion is a word invented after Bitches Brew came out. Electric, electronic, whatever you want to call it, its jazz(ish) and it has electr(on)ic elements. No not electronicA elements. But I didn't assume that by electronic he meant electronica.



I'd love to give you an essay but all it needs is a few sentences instead. In general, if there is one thing that binds all of what people call 'jazz' together (even that **** Kenny G and the smooth 'jazz' ****e in the world) it is improvisation. Skalpel are two DJs mixing samples together to create tunes... maybe one of them is the drummer. Point being, it lacks improvisation. At any rate, I'm sorry I even said anything because nitpicking about genres creates wasteful arguments about electric vs. electronic vs. fusion vs. who the **** cares the kid wants to listen to some new music.

To the original poster, I sincerely apologize if I have led you astray to something horrific and not at all what you had in mind! God only knows how dangerous some music can be to a person's mind!
