I like Zawinul as well, he seemed to be more into the world music aspect...I liked his stuff with Weather Report too.

There's that...and some people just don't like Bitches Brew!

I heard most of Kind of Blue and Miles Smiles, but I am going to actually have to purchase his CD's and really sit down to absorb it. Bitches Brew huh? I love fireworks.

I`m glad I like it too

Could it be, that most members of a cult, tend to be boring?

I love Bitches Brew, but I have also made myself clear on what I think of most of fusion. You take out Miles and a few others and you can dump the rest down the toilet.

Fusion is Jazz's version of Corporate Rock.

NDF, if I am not mistaken, you play the guitar? In that case, you need to check out (if you haven't already) Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian. They are two of the most influential guitar players in music.
