An electric and synthesis approach to jazz. Think of Weather Report, Herbie Hancock Headhunters, George Duke, Chick Corea, and Miles Davis Amamndla. I did fusion covers here this year and really miss the improvisation, and freedom of the style. I never missed the vocals once. We actually had developed a small following, but the money wasn't happening, so the other players didn't want to rehearse much after pre production was finished. We had a one nighter at a Casino bar that was a joke. We were unloading and noticed the cowboy hats on all the dealers and cocktail waitresses, that's when I knew we were in 4 a long night. Needless to say it went over like a reggae band at a Ku Klux Klan rally.

that was my 1st thought when I read the thread's title - and my 2nd was ...what the heck is Hubird going to ???...
Hubird My Brother,
This is a strange request I ask of you. Are you near Zeist? If so I am desperately looking 4 my long lost partner from an engineering class in college at the U. of Miami who resides there. I played soccer there also with him and I really need to locate him. His name is ......Zvonimr Kumpar, I believe he owns a prominent Architechural Engineering firm there. Any help in re-uniting us would be appreciated very much, as we were joined at the hip. I have a picture of a group of us doing our famous " Founding Fathers Pose " if it would help. You know, the Mount Rushmore shot? We would push our heads together like the Presidents, and shoot from a low angle, very noble looking. I use to love going round Miami with these guys, as they were so much fun, they would even take pictures of the produce, and meat departments in the grocery stores, as the guys from Croatia were amazed that we had such transportational abilities here. All I know is that he made a lot of money with his US patent a few years back. I must find him please.
Strength And Honor,

my town is about 100 km to the east of Zeist...
If i could help you some way I'd want to (even when I h*te classic fusion rock or fusion jazz, sorry Jimmy ).
The term Fusion aims at the fusion of synapsis, like Gary says so right, dance-theatre-cinema.
