Classic Prog Rock, Classic Fusion

Those great progressive bands out of the 70's; Yes, EL&P, Hendrix, Zappa, sparked my interest in listening to real musicianship and hieghtened my appreciation of complex compositions and musical forms. At the same time, jazz musicians like Chick Corea, Joe Farrell, John McLaughlin were experimenting with rock rhythms and instrumentation, resulting in Jazz Fusion. This mix represents the best of these genres, plus new musicians that keep Jazz-Rock Fusion alive and well.
