History of Jazz: Jazz Fusion

<< Latin Jazz Recent Developments in Jazz >>
With the growth of rock and roll in the 1960s, came the hybrid form jazz-rock fusion, again involving Miles Davis, who in 1968 released the fusion albums 'In a Silent Way' and 'Bitches Brew'.

Jazz at this stage was no longer center stage in popular music, but was still breaking new ground and combining and recombining in different forms. Notable artists of the 1960s and 1970s jazz and fusion scene include: Carlos Santana, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Joni Mitchell, Sun Ra, Peter Skellern, Soft Machine, Caravan, Narada Michael Walden, who would later enjoy huge success as a music producer, Wayne Shorter, Jaco Pastorius, and Weather Report. The only band that has developed continuously from the late 1970s until the present day (2004) and has known an unusual popular reception for a jazz band is the Pat Metheny Group.
