Modern Fusion - worth a Listen - Aaron Parks

Excellent suggestions from everyone.

@ghosthouse - Listening to Magnus Öström on Tidal good stuff.

@tvad - My time frame (for my loosely named Modern Fusion) I suppose I was thinking of current recordings Artists that are still putting out new music. I listened to a lot of Fusion back in the late 70s and 80s so this newer modern Jazz (for lack of a better term) is capturing my ear.

So I’m not too hung up on what is considered "Fusion" as compared to the early days of the Genre.

As far as using Allmusic as a learning tool, I use it all the time.
Roon from what I here is also a great tool but I guess I am to fugal to pluck down $500 for software.

So while I’m at it here, a few more recent ones I am enjoying -

Ruby Rushton - "Ironsides"

Works For Me - "Reach Within"

Cheers

Someone should start a new thread...

"What contemporary Jazz Fusion are you listening to tonight?"

That is an excellent idea.
We are waiting.......

Long time Tidal and Qobuz streamer here although mostly Qobuz now due to what I perceive as superior SQ.
However Tidal does have a larger catalogue so I keep the lower tier active there.
$14.99 Qobuz and $9.99 Tidal per month compared to hundreds spent on CD and records is a great deal.

Oh wait....
I still blow hundreds on CD and records!
Doh!

Five Peace Band Live (2009)
A "collaboration" between Corea and John McLaughlin w/Kenny Garrett (sax), Christian McBride (bass), Vinnie Colaiuta (drums). Is it jazz? Is it fusion? Touches on both of these and sure as heck is "modern". Listening to it for the first time...complex but accessible (so far) and I’m not even minding JM’s guitar work.

Chick Corea’s comments from his website:
"I decline to attempt to describe this music or give it a name. But I will say that it’s a music that is made by five musicians who don’t care about what it’s called or where it comes from or what are its “influences.” I will also say that we’ve just scratched the surface of what more might be done with this collaboration. So, humbly offered (but not so humbly played) is a selection of the performances from our first outing—22 concerts throughout Europe, fall of 2008.

Thom Jurek’s lengthy All Music Guide "review" is worth reading.
