Fusion Jazz
Rodney Jelks 3rd-5th period



Fusion Jazz is a very relaxing sound of music which is formed by alot of different styles of music combined in one. It became popular in 1920s Lee Ritenour was one of the musicians that was invovled in this music. I found out that rock, hip hop, jazz, and so on. One of the first jazz musicians to attempt this fusion jazz was guitarist Larry Coryell who, along with Bob Moses and Jim Pepper, formed the Free Sprits in 1966. The sound of fusion is a very good sound that will become a well known form music.
