What!? I don't remember that. Not a fan of him in particular (although I like some of his stuff).

A lot of interesting opinions and I guess being 18 years old and loving Angus Young and AC/DC is in my DNA because I do like flash. Not Di Meola a thousand notes a second flash but I want noise. That McLaughlin/Santana album for example.
I think this goes against old school Jazz players who were so academic they wouldn't dare cross that line of showing off. |

For me, I'll take Freddie Hubbard ANY DAY over Miles Davis. I always thought Miles was overrated.

OF these it looks like Shibusashirazu, Sun Ra, Bruno Pernadas ,Freddie Hubbard and Casiopea aren't on PA. I've always wondered if Sun Ra should be on the site. He has some interesting fusion stuff. Other artists i'll have to explore further. Too many classics on this list so i can't possibly choose.

I think you're both SORT OF right. Holdsworth is mentioned a decent amount on this site, and usually favorably. But it's almost always in reference to his work with UK, Soft Machine, and, to a lesser extent, Bruford. It's his solo work which is often either not mentioned, or not spoken of in a very positive light. It seems like GPF and I are the biggest extollers of Allan's work overall, including his solo output.

Btw: A lot of old school jazz is more often than not one soloist taking the spotlight after the other, but rarely do I feel like it's about wanting to overshadow each other. I'm sure there's an competative element there as well, but if you got too high on yourself, you'd loose the gig and get a bad rep. I suppose I prefer a "lyrical" approach to soloing that creates imagery, and has me responding to the music emotionally - over anything technicailly impressive. An approach I know McLaughlin and even Holdsworth have proven themselves capable of on several occasions, I might add.

*but I actually think most listeners are aware that his greatness is only partly about how he blows his horn compared to other hornblowers.

^Agree that Miles was an innovator and one of the pioneers of fusion. I enjoyed much of his Bop music, when he was shredding "sport trumpet". However, "In A Silent Way" and "Bitches Brew", leave me cold.

I love them all ;Miles Davis- Silent Way ;Frank Zappa-Hot Rats ; and Soft Machine -Third. These albums turned aa old psychedelic rocker into a jazz appreciator and helped develop my own musical direction. I would add Soft Machine -Seven and Dixie Dregs full catalog.

This poll and thread make no mention of guitarist the late Eddy Marron, which is a big mistake. Though mostly known in PA circles for his work in the sometimes krautrock labelled band Dzyan, also featuring at one point Swiss drummer Peter Giger (their second album known as "Time Machine" is jazz fusion all right), Marron also shined in the fusion trio Giger Lenz Marron that I tried in vain to get added to the PA database.
Those guys in Dzyan were Mahavishnu Orchestra admirers, and Time Machine is a astonishingly great album. Giger Lenz Marron (GLM) are under the radar for most people in general, but are more than worth it searching for.
