ever heard of Swing, Dixieland and other trad jazz?

Cause they are missing in your list

you know Illinois Jacket, Memphis Slim, Ella Fitzgerrald, Bessie Smith Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong

ANYWAY,

Fusion for me

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I love Latin Jazz , Avant Garde, Jazz Fusion and World Jazz. If Funk Jazz is what Herbie Hancock play i like it to.

I voted for Latin Jazz , because Latin Fusion is my favourite Jazz sub genre, but i like almost all subgenres.

Absolutely Be Bop/Hard Bop. The angular compositions of Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, and Thelonious Monk are directly related to the jerky compositions of groups like Gentle Giant, Frank Zappa, early Genesis, and modern groups like Don Caballero and Behold... The Arctopus. I love that stuff.

LORDOFLIGHT :Yeah well they like to keep their music minimal, and repetitation is one of the main points of their music ! I've been also looking for similar bands but i have found nothing similar ! they are too original !!

Fusion Jazz!

The Mahavishnu Orchestra = My 2nd favorite band ever, and they are the ideal fusion jazz groub. McLaughlin, Hammer, Cobham, etc - all the lineups, even when they re-united in 75' - were astounding. One of the best bands ever.

Fusion also gave birth to two of my top 20 favorite records ever, not counting all the Mahavishnu records: "In A Silent Way" by Miles Davis and "Bitches Brew".

I've been on a bit of a free jazz binge lately, (particularly Coltrane), but I also love funk (like Tower of Power), Bebop (Monk's the man!), cool jazz (the DBQ), big band jazz (actually, I play trumpet in my high school big band), and of course, fusion.

I voted for free jazz, but ask me again tommorrow.

Oldschool jazz is very nice, but when I listen to jazz, it's fusion or free jazz I listen to. Check out the Belgian band Aka Moon.
