^^^I haven't listened to any italian jazz-fusion but hope to do so in the near future

    I've seen several references to Larry Coryell but I may have missed specific references to the Eleventh House. The Eleventh House was considered pioneers in the fusion arena along with Mahavishnu Orchestra and RTF. Fusion based with Coryell at the helm. Eleventh House included Larry Coryell - guitar, Randy Brecker (1st album), Mike Lawrence (second album0 - trumpet, Mike Mandel keyboards, Danny Trifan (1st album) John Lee (second album) bass, and Alphonse Mouzon on drums. I highly recommend the first two albums (a few more were made after the second but the sound and personal were different).

With lots of acknowledgement to member  John Paterson who posted the following at Fusenet, some wonderful Indonesian jazz fusion:


I have played Indonesian fusion by Discus on my shows but I just found
a new guy that burns:

Probably been here before but check out the jam fusion(?) band Garaj Mahal - excellent musicians playing some tight and above average exciting jazz rock, fused from time to tme with other jazz fusion elements, e.g. Indo-jazz fusion.

At one of the better jazz rock fusion discussion groups on the web: Fusenet, a rather deep discussion is taking place on the future nature of jazz rock fusion, and in particular jazz rock jamming ("jam fusion"). One of the correspondents is in the throes of setting up a site specifically for this sub-genre:

Hi folks,

Before getting back to the Fusion Rant, I wanted to post the news
that I've created a new Web Ring called "Jam Fusion". The name is not
as important as where it's placed in the Web Ring directory.
Typically Fusion, Jazz Rock, and the namesake variations are all
located within the Jazz directory. In fact, the Jazz Fusion ring is
in Home > Music > For Musicians > Jazz. Talk about hard to find…

The new Jam Fusion Ring is in the Home > Music > Genres directory,
thus making it much more visible. With enough members it may generate
a place in the Genres Sub-directory list visible on the main Genre
page.

My web stats at Jazz Rock World indicate that the Jazz Fusion Web
Ring is among the top 10 referring web pages. The point is that while
it may sound ridiculous or a waste of time to create this new ring,
the Internet has proven to be a surprising place where almost
anything is possible. Thus, creating a new Web Ring in the main
Genres directory has potential that can't be calculated by any
standard that would prove it to be fruitless.

If you're interested in taking the music a pro-active step away from
the myopic folks running Jazz right into the Cryo Tank at the music
museum [that don't even recognize Fusion], here's an opportunity that
never existed until now.

The main hub page is located at:

http://m.webring. com/hub?ring= jamfusion

On the main Jam Fusion hub page, click on "Join This Ring" and follow
the prompts. No, it's not easy and will take some time – so be
prepared to give the process your full attention for about 15 – 30
minutes. (That's a fair warning, eh?)

If you are not a member, then you will need to register at

The future is knocking, can you hear it?

All the best and thanks,

Of course, I refer to improvised music here, something that would be near impossible to do via assembly? What do you think?       Paul Tingen, relates that Miles Davis's skill as a live band leader, was to recognise that a musican was heading off on the wrong key compared to the other players, and play something in a key that provided a great compromise and often a development in the improv.
