XII. Fighting Against Fusion 1974-1990
XII. Fighting Against Fusion (1974-1990) For a few years, it seemed as if the whole jazz world had gone fusion-crazy, at least those who wished a large commercial success. Brothers Randy and Michael Brecker, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and George Benson were only a few of the many musicians who dipped a toe—or a whole foot—into its murky waters. Even Ornette Coleman, with his new band Prime Time, gave us his version of fusion with the album Dancing in Your Head. In the early 1980s George Russell gave us his funk-fusion take on The African Game, and even Mingus, one of the music’s greatest foes, was pushed into something close to fusion when his label at the time (Atlantic) forced a couple of electric guitarists on him in the album Three or Four Shades of Blue. When Mingus heard the final mix on this album, he called up Atlantic’s Nesuhi Ertegun and gave him hell for issuing such a “crappy” record, but the incredibly high sales figures for that LP—the best selling of Mingus’ entire career—mollified him, especially when he learned that the funds raised by this album gave him the opportunity to record one of his greatest masterpieces, the Cumbia & Jazz Fusion album, which sold hardly at all. And, of course, this was always the argument the record companies used when coerc- ing musicians into fusion. It sold. Very well. And in doing so, it sometimes—depending on the artistic proclivities of the label’s owner—gave them the opportunity to record better music that didn’t sell as much. -

The Burton Wire Jazz Musician Najee Talks New Music & the Other Side
Link: http://theburtonwire.com/2014/01/05/education/jazz-musician-najee-talks-new-music-the-other- side-of-prince/ The Burton Wire Jazz Musician Najee Talks New Music & The Other Side of Prince January 5, 2014 by TheBurtonWire Jazz saxophonist Najee talks about his new album ‘The Morning After – A Musical Love Journey.’ Photo Credit (Robert Ector) Best-selling jazz musician Najee released his 13th studio album, The Morning After – A Musical Love Journey, this past October. His romantic, 11-song collection is a project that gives the Jamaica, Queens-raised saxophonist, flautist and keyboardist a few moments to reflect on his artistic and entrepreneurial evolution. Like every Najee release since his million-selling 1986 Capitol Records debut, Najee’s Theme, the Grammy-nominated performer’s sound merges smooth jazz with grooving R&B instrumentals. Each album also features Najee experimenting with musical styles he was exposed to from touring the world. Najee says via phone interview, “Jazz is music. It’s the ability to combine different elements with the spirit of improvisation and creativity. It’s allowing the music to evolve and naturally take you. You have to have knowledge of what you’re doing and a great sense of intuition,” he says. The charismatic, 56-year-old instrumentalist, born Jerome Najee Rasheed, gets a kick out of randomly logging his album and song titles in his iPhone or iPad. His creative process, he says, is quite simple. The Morning After, he adds, is inspired by his travels. “I wanted the album to reflect my experience. At some point when songs come along, I’ll just choose a title.
