Modern Fusion of the more Jazzy variety

[Unfrankie Valli]

Some pretty great stuff here from a couple of young prodigies:

Yeah, love it. Still waiting on their debut album, but maybe the current situation is pushing it back even more.

I keep going back to this virtuoso display from Domi when I think of her.

[BobM]

Wow, I really like those 2. - would definitely pick up their album

I think I've heard that sound before. On a bunch of George Duke albums. But she's plays the hell outta that stuff.

#JazzFusion 🔥🔥🔥🔥

"#ValeriyStepanov is stepping up his game and taking the always fun and #funky Funk-Fusion genre and moving it into new realms of what is possible and pleasurable and reaches new heights of imagination and melodic majesty that puts his band clearly on Top of the Fusion world." ~ Conspiracy Realist 💯%

After New Beginnings (2017) his sophomore project was Valeriy Stepanov (Live) with songs from his debut album in live atmosphere. Now he returns with a jazz fusion album as #ValeriyStepanovFusionProject aptly titled Album №1. Valeriy had the privilege to record his new tunes with such incredible musicians as Martin Miller, Sebastian Lanser, Steven Williams, Steve Tavaglione, Альберт Степанов, Alex Hutchings, Marcus Thomas, Jerohn Garnett, and Johannes Zetterberg.

He just released a new album, called Colors. Here's the trailer:

Blue Touch Paper were mentioned in this thread before (and there's a review from the second album somewhere here too), but I just found this short documentairy on the first album and thought it was nice to post it.
I know Colin Towns b.t.w. especially from his soundtrack Full Circle.

Greetings,

Today marks the official release of this fantistic fusion album from guitarist Daniel Weiss:

https://danielweiss.bandcamp.com/album/dive-3

For those who prefer a video-based introduction:



This release closely straddles the border of belonging on the "rock variety" thread, but the jazz elements are probably just a bit stronger. Highly recommended and certainly worth checking out IMO.

Cheers,


Alan

Tight! Well played. And what a lovely cover.
Thanks for posting.

For a blast of old-school fusion - complete with cosmic song titles and philosophies - try Cameron Graves's Seven. Graves loves rock and metal, as may be guessed by one look at him, but he's a veteran of Kamasi Washington's and Stanley Clarke's bands, and has serious jazz chops. Unusually for a fusioneer, he plays only piano in this band - I suspect that he uses the keyboard you see in the video only because of the feedback problems with a miked grand in a high-volume band. These guys strike me as a sort of West Coast equivalent to Dan Weiss's Starebaby.

Think about it.
Temporally equivalent would be someone during Duke's heyday being influenced by Bix Beiderbecke or Jelly Roll Morton, or somebody like that.

Excellent 5 disc set I picked up recently.

I just found out about this cat. Rad!



He’s like the Slayer of jazz fusion.
