Jazz Fusion: 51 upcoming festivals, including 22 with tickets on sale.

Jazz Fusion, also known as jazz-rock, is an electrifying genre characterized by intricate improvisations, powerful rock rhythms, and the prominent use of electric instruments like guitars, keyboards, and bass, creating a dynamic and often high-energy soundscape. Emerging in the late 1960s in the United States, it originated from a desire to blend jazz's harmonic sophistication and improvisational spirit with the raw power and rhythmic drive of rock and funk. Miles Davis was a pivotal figure in its genesis, pushing boundaries and popularizing the fusion of these diverse musical elements. Iconic artists like Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, and Mahavishnu Orchestra exemplify the genre's innovative spirit and technical prowess. Its impact resonated across popular music, influencing countless musicians and expanding the sonic possibilities of jazz.
