Old School - 60s and 70s Fusion/Funk/Acid Jazz Roots?
OK, I want to hear from all you fusion and acid jazz aficionados on your favorite artists from the late 60s and early 70s who pioneered the fusion movement. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR LISTS OF ARTISTS - I already have an extensive collection of vinyl and CDs of nearly every fusion artist of that era.
What I would love to hear is a short list (3 or less) of your favorite albums and how these albums influenced you and what you listen to today. For example, I started with 'Bitches Brew' - after listening to this, I started listening to Zawinul, McLaughlin, Williams, Shorter, Hancock, Corea, and so on...
Let's hear your story!
Really good answers so far! I am extending the question a little longer to hear from some of those who were born in the 1950s and were gowing up with this music when it was new.
Back in the early 90's I got into Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow album. That might have been my first exposure to musicians who could really play.
Zappa's Hot Rats and Waka Jawaka albums were my first Zappa albums. They blew me away. I found the rest of his albums to have so much goofing around that I could hardly get into the music. Maybe I should revisit some of those. I was able to find the Shut Up and Play yer Guitar album, which I like plenty.
Before I got into jazz, I listened to a lot of Grateful Dead bootlegs (still do). I consider the Dead to be a jazz band of sorts. I think this mostly because of their approach to making muic is like a jazz approach. My favorite part of the Dead's music is when they are morphing from one song into another, thats when they are most jazz like. When they go into their usual "space" during the 2nd set, they are an avant garde jazz band. In fact, there is a great one with Ornette Coleman sitting in-1993.
August 16, 1991-they played Scarlet Begonias>Victim or the Crime>Fire on the Mountian. The part where they went from Scarlet Begonias into Victim or the Crime is probably the best moment of their entire career, in my little opinion. That was the only time they ever played Victim between Scarlet/Fire. If you listen, it sounds like Bruce Hornsby started playing the piano part of Victim first, then the rest of the band followed into it.
Currently, with all things considered, my favorite fusion album is the Tony Williams Lifetime album, Emergency. First time I heard that was on the house speakers between sets at an avant garde show in NYC. I ran up to the bar to ask who it was. Never heard a guitar played like that! McLaughlin.
Just recently I have become interested in Gary Burton's album Lofty Fake Anagram. It was recorded 2 years before Bitch's Brew, but never gets credit for starting the fusion movemet. I'm curious about it.
Sorry if I rambled on too long.
