Jazz-Rock

The following list come from the Jazz-Rock chapter of the ‘Dictionnaire du Jazz‘[Laffont] (1994) written by Xavier Daverat. I don’t agree with everything,  but in a whole it gives a good overlook over Jazz –Rock and the subsections make sense  in terms of developpment of the genre. Records are in quotations marks songs without.
