Sometime last week I stumbled across Blender Magazine’s “50 Worst Things Ever to Happen to Music” list. I found one of them very amusing.
31. Jazz fusion
It’s a rule of thumb that any music that uses “jazz” as a prefix will make you want to saw your head off in boredom (see also: jazz-funk, jazz rap, jazz house). But none is as wearying as the genre that thought what rock really needed was month-long bass solos and time signatures Stephen Hawking wouldn’t understand.
Yes sir! Very funny. But I still like jazz fusion.
