    Since it's currently my favorite genre, I'll try to answer the modern fusion
    question

        To preface, I agree with much of what Adam said about jazz in general,
    up to the part about there being very few innovators today. I think Adam
    just hasn't been exposed to enough of it (I'm lucky enough to be just
    outside of Chicago, and to be at school with a bunch of jazz freaks, much
    like Adam will be next semester.) Every area of jazz is still alive, from
    Dixieland on up. There's scores of great innovative virtuoso bebop
    musicians making great livings playing what they love. And fusion is what
    it had never been before now.

        Fusion has taken several forms. Theres the open improv form, which guys
    like Hellborg/Lane have picked up into, and which the King Crimson guys
    often venture into. LTE is almost like this on 3 minute warning.... but
    it's not quite fusion. This isn't a favorite style of mine, though I highly
    recommend the Lane discs... very interesting stuff.
        There's the hard edged styles, which not a lot of players have really
    gotten too deep into... Tribal Tech would be the pinnacle here in my
    opinion. These guys have a lot of balls, and a lot of chops, and they
    improv over some really hectic stuff (Gary Willis plays over changes from
    hell more often than not). Holdsworth has ventured into this style in Heavy
    Machinery, as has Greg Howe, on his last few albums. Distorted guitars, the
    extreme of busy drumming, and intricate bass work.
        Soft fusion... guys like Metheny often end up here... when not playing
    what can be called traditional jazz. Brian Hughes, Lee Ritenour, etc... a
    lot of these guys play this style, because it is SOOO marketable (to
    restaurants, TV etc). Big money. Some of this stuff showcases great skill.
    Some is pretty lame. My instructor's (Fareed Haque) albums have more or
    less fallen under this category though his next album is said to be bebop
    (that's ALL he plays out here. He's said that he has to do things as he's
    told for his contract, because they own his ass). Still a lot of cool stuff
    there!
        Proggy fusion: DiMeola is soooo proggy these days. He's sort of a
    technogeek as of lately. He's even playing through the Roland VG 8.
    McLaughlin's last couple have been here too... ever since he developed that
    insane perfect picking technique that ruins all hope of swing, while
    solidifying obscene virtuoso lines... he's been almost a prog guy in his
    writing style. The album with Dennis Chambers is a brutal example.
        I'll crack out my cd cases if this ends up being a viable discussion,
    and see if I can add anything more substantial and recommend any albums in
    particular.

    Take care!

    Thanks to all who barraged me with their jazz suggestions. I ordered
    from amazon the following: thelonius monk's Brilliant Corners, Miles
    Davis' Kind Of Blue, and Dave Brubeck Quartet's Time Out.

    That stuff should arrive next week.

    So I also went to tower tonight, and got a charlie parker compilation,
    and some modern jazz by Medeski Martin and Wood, which so far I dig
    funkily.

    thanks again folks

    The question certainly is commendable, but... Newborn event? Anyone using the language of the "politically correct" should be taken out and beaten with a hose. That statement is about as sterile as it gets.

    'm not a jazz expert, but I'll tell you what I like... for a little background info my musical taste has progressed from 80's metal -> thrash, speed, death -> progressive thrash -> progressive metal -> prog rock -> fusion / jazz.

    Anyways, heres a list of few albums I've enjoyed lately: Victor Wooten, Steve Smith, Scott Henderson: Vital Tech Tones

    I was told this CD is "The LTE of jazz fusion" and that's true :) awesome musicians, great soloes, loads of improvisation etc. There's also a cover of "Giant Steps" originally by Coltrane. for little clip, go to http://www2.ShrapnelRecords.com/Shrapnel/TC-4000.htm

    Niacin - High Bias

    John Novello on hammond & soundalikes, Billy Sheehan on bass, Dennis Chambers on drums, I had heard only little of Chambers before this disc, and I hadn't heard Novello at all, so I put my expectations on Sheehan, and wasn't disappointed at all, yet the other guys surpass him, the band plays really tight kb-drums-bass trio jazz fusion. There are some clips at cdnow,(hope this works) at http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1082191224/pagename= /RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/ArtistID=FRN-NIACIN/ddcn=SD-13441+9017+2

    Jonas Hellborg - E

    *DROOL* Get this disc. NOW. Swedish monster bassist Hellborg with Jens Johansson of Strato/Yngwie fame and his brother Anders on drums. If you're not air drumming with this album, you're dead... even deaves drum to this groove :) for soundclips, check out doc's total.devastation.com /incoming/hellborg/

    Chick Corea - Return to forever

    More on the "classical fusion" side (all above are from 90's, this babe from 1972) anyways, 4 songs from 6 to 17 mins, crazy soloes, Chick Corea on electric piano with Joe Farrell - flutes,soprano saxophone, Flora Purim - vocal,percussion, Stan Clarke - basses and Airto Moreira - drums,percussion. The female vox might be a turn-off to someone, but the music is soooo great you'll get over it. for soundclips, see: http://www.cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=1082191224/pagename= /RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/ArtistID=FRN-COREA*CHICK/ddcn=SD-8118+21022+2

    Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame

    IMO the best Mahavishnu disc, incredible shredding by McLaughlin & comrades, for most of the time listening this disc you go "wha? you mean you can actually play like this, and survive?"

    I'd also recommend Al DiMeola as have many before me, my fav. DiMeola is without a doubt Elegant Gypsy.

    A few observations.

    > BTW, anybody know what Kate's been up to lately? Me an' her have been kickin Dave Gilmour's insides, trying to persuade him to get out of bed and write a new Floyd album.

    >Currently in the car's changer: > 5.) Saturday Night Fever - Soundtrack (disco lives) Uh huh. Okay, like WHY?? Should we be worried?

    > a rumor or not. And Petrucci is just about Mesa/Boogie's >biggest endorser (judging from the huge feature about him >on their web page). So I would think that in the musician end Damn, when are they actually gonna' update boogie.com? That interview's a year .5 old. NEW JP INTERVIEW, PLEASE! And whatever happened to those demos of his that used to be on there?? Why'd they get taken off, and has anyone still got a copy?

    > As for Metallica: They sold out. It's up to you whether or not you care. OH NO! NOT THIS AGAIN!! > I personally don't care how many copies an album sells. Crap is crap no > matter how it's packaged. Fair dos, yes. However...

    >Argue the facts: Metallica changed their sound completely >for the black album. By coincidence, they said it would be their > heaviest album yet, Yes, but they completely changed their sound between KEA and ...AJFA, for God's sake! And frankly, the Black album WAS their heaviest album yet. Thrash is NOT HEAVY to my mind; the only songs that were "really "heavy" in terms of atmospherics on Puppets were "Sanitarium", which was FUCKING heavy and oppresive, and "The Thing That Should Not Be". And are you really saying that "Sad But True" was a radio-friendly unit shifter?

    >(note that they swore they'd never do a video, cut their hair, or wear >makeup, all of which they thrive on now) Note that they also gloated that Metallica didn't need huge light shows and flashy stage sets back when they were trawling RTL about the globe. Now look at the Justice... tour and EAT THEM WORDS!!!

    > album was done on a new contract, and I believe they made more money off it OH DEAR!!! Obviously that makes it a sell-out, because it ACTUALLY SOLD RECORDS!!! Well, I've been so stupid for all this time - I'm gonna go home and throw out all those other records when the band sold out (that is to say, Ptacek would have us believe, they sold records:) - I'm gonna bin "Dark Side of the Moon", "The Wall", "Appetite For Destruction" - all that other commercial shit!! I never realised that a record selling in any numbers invalidates the content.

    > (don't even tell me Lars is a great drummer, or Hammett studied Lars is a great drummer. I remember the evil " Less Is More?" debate that started just after I got here (I seem to remember some thread about Liv Tyler blowing her dad was in my first Digest!), and someone said "Lars isn't interesting enough to play slow...la la la...xyz drummers had it, Ringo had it..." No he didn't. Beatles records bore the living shit out of me. The drums are shite; okay, you can argue that nothing else would really have fitted, but none of that disguises that Ringo Star was a shit drummer. And Lars Ulrich IS interesting enough when he plays slow. IMO.

    phew, thank God that's over with... > PS: DT content - wonder how far they (DT) got with the new album before Mike > and Marlene Portnoy had their newborn event? Maybe now they're taking a break, it'd be a good time for an update from JR or one of the others; since Mike's otherwise engaged?

    > Tkz. their sound is really incridible! What albums (of Townscream and > Aftercrying) do you recommend?

    You've asked the real tough question beacause I am a devoted fan of Aftercrying's. I love each and every album. But I'll present you the 6 , so that you can choose.

    "Overground Music" -1990 - (40:25 - 8 tracks from 3:00 to 10:45) First album. No drums, and exclusively acoustic. Mostly piano and cello. A jewel. Of course, the singing is not great when the guy sings (you'll have to get past that to appreciate all the richness of their music), but in the called Shining, the woman has an extraordinary voice.

    "Megalazottak es Megszomoritottak" (Humilated and Injured) -1992- (42:00 - 5 tracks from 1:50 to 22:10) Now there's a drummer. The first and longest track resembles a lyric poem, with a very soft progression finishing in chaos. Maybe more jazz than rock.

    "F=F6ld es =E8g" (Earth and Sky)-1994 - (60:00 - 11 tracks from 1:48 to 13:40) More of a rock pulse in this one, and you now realize that when they say they admire King Crimson and ELP, it's true. The first two tracks are named "The return of the manticore" pt I&II, and it's an hommage to ELP. Also more electric guitar. The last track (in two parts for 21:00) is another lyric poem, marvelous!

    At the end of the recording, Csabor Vedres leaves the band.

    "De Profundis" -1996- (70:00 - 15 tracks from 0:40 to 12:10) The guitars are more saturated, in the tracks played by the whole band, that sound as jazz, and contemporary as rock. But there're also a few tracks for solo performance, on cello, guitar, piano, trombone... Just take a look at all the guests, there's a whole orchestra with them. Maybe my favorite Aftercrying!

    "Els=F6 Evtized" (10 years already) - (72:00/71:00 - double album, one disc half compilation half new tracks and rarities, one disc dedicated to a concert from 1990) All in all, you'll find more than 90 minutes of unrealeased before tracks in here. All the raririties except for one are just brilliant, with orchestra. And the concert is simply unforgettable.

    "6" -1997- (68:00 - can't say more about timing because it's mostly two pieces of approximately 25minutes divided in many parts plus an introduction, and intermezzo and a Conclusion) The tougher one. Much more rock than the others, and still very contemporary and jazz.. The most complex of their albums, but definitely a "must-get".

    At the same time, Csabor Vedres formed Townscream. They released so far only one album "Nagyvarosi Ikonok" (I don't know the translation!), so if youwant to get one Townscream album, it won't be hard to choose!

    By the way, I've seen Aftercrying in concert in France last year, they're astonishing! I heard they'll be in Baja prog, in Mexico this year and that they may tour in Brazil, so keep informed, so that you don't miss them!

    I hope I've helped.

    See you,

    Daniel
