5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome book for jazz fusion fans, April 7, 2008
This review is from: Jazz-Rock Fusion: The People, the Music (Paperback)
Written by the wife of one of jazz fusions legends (Larry Coryell), Julie Coryell has put together a veritable "who's who" of jazz fusion. It's full of great information - being part of that crowd gave her great access and personal insight that would be missing from a book written by an outsider. Any fan of jazz fusion will love this book, and it will probably introduce you to some great artists that you haven't heard of yet!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A who's who of fusion's players at it's peak, November 27, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Jazz-Rock Fusion: The People, the Music (Paperback)
Jazz-rock fusion brought a musical vocabulary that affects the music of today. Every player in this book contributed to the musical landscape of fusion. To those who not only lived through mid to late 70's music but experienced it during their formative years electronic jazz today seems a homogenized, watered down version of the forceful experimentation and freedom embodied by Weather Report, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu and others. More than mere nostalgia, this book may be seen as a record of the players who created a disavowed genre.
