Fusion Jazz is a subgenre of Jazz with elements of Progressive, Psychedelic Rock music. It also has elements of Funk, Bebop, Rhythm ‘n’ Blues, World Music, and 20th-century Classical music. The genre’s origins come from the late 1960s.
Fusion Jazz is usually played with instruments, without singing. The songs are often longer than those in Pop music. A Fusion Jazz song could be five to ten minutes long. A Pop song is usually about three minutes long. Also, Fusion Jazz songs have long solos played by instruments. Frank Zappa, for example, had long guitar solos in his music, which was of the Fusion Jazz genre. In solos are improvised, or made up as they are played, during a performance.
Fusion Jazz music is not heard much on the radio in the United States or Canada. In Europe, it is more popular on radio stations.
