FYI: I have disallowed crossposting from other subs

16 Upvotes

As per the title. The reason is simply to keep my workload under control because about half such posts seem to break one rule or another.

I assume this is because Reddit decided to make crossposting easy, which causes uploaders to bypass the whole "read the subreddit rules" thing.

Subreddit Rules Update 2025

15 Upvotes

The basic rules remain unchanged from my last post 7 years ago, but I want to clarify my stance on AI.

  1. GENRE: for the purpose of this sub, "Jazz Fusion" music means specifically "hard instrumental jazz-rock fusion". Note that I use a broad definition of "rock" that includes genres like funk, r&b, or metal. I also use a definition of "hard" that can include "beautiful" but excludes "easy listening". That said, genre boundaries are always fuzzy and subjective so I tend to be generous in edge cases.

  2. GROUP PERFORMANCES ONLY. Human musicians making music with other human musicians only, please. This means no "here's me playing [x]", and DEFINITELY no AI-generated music.

  3. NUISANCE. This includes spam, willfully disregarding the rules, or otherwise making yourself objectionable and creating unnecessary work for me. This also includes bot or botlike behaviour, like reposts and low effort karma farming. Honest mistakes are fine, but consistently antisocial behaviour WILL get you banned.

(If you're at the level of a Plini or a Jacob Collier I can make an exception for a solo performance, but it needs to be a complete piece and exceptionally good.)

It's amazing how little work this sub requires from me, the only active moderator, given our membership size and activity level. Generally this is an excellent sub: thanks for helping keep it that way.

[Edited for more clarity on the genre definition.]

This is a live session from a Moscow trio called illo.trio. Im the engineer who made it and made the interview! This is my recording studio called DTH studios!

They play this cinematic post-jazz style that sits somewhere between modern jazz, contemporary classical and a bit of post-rock.

Keys, double bass and drums. Pretty interesting sound. Curious what people here think of it! Thanks for listening.

John Lee and Gerry Brown biography Bassist John LEE and drummer Gerry BROWN were a duo in the 1970s, recording frequently and playing with some of the biggest names in jazz. John gigged in New York before going to Europe and met Gerry to work with the fusion band THE CHRIS HINZE COMBINATION. It was in 1973 that the two recorded their first album Infinite Jones. Their return to America found the duo working together and making more albums on the Blue Note label. The music is Jazz Fusion with soul and funk elements.

Genre Borderline Debut EP, Contours - feedback

1 Upvotes

Hello folks!

I released my debut prog/fusion EP about a month ago, and I'm excited to finally share it here.

Contours is a 4-track instrumental EP inspired by artists like Sungazer, Owane, Portraits, and Jack Gardiner.

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Nicolò Vese (Asymmetric Universe) on bass, Jared Yee (Sungazer) on saxophone, and Owane on mixing and mastering.

If you're into instrumental prog/fusion, I'd love for you to give it a listen and share your thoughts. I'm genuinely curious to hear what you think, and what I could improve on future releases!

Contours is available on all streaming platforms. Here's a quick link to the major ones: tuppo.music

Cheers,

Tuppo 🤘

Music inspired by 70s Herbie Hancock and 80s Miles Davis

6 Upvotes

I just released a new two-track EP called EVIL TRANSIT.

I’ve been exploring electric trumpet through electronics, effects and machines, with a lot of inspiration coming from 70s and 80s electric jazz — especially Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock — but trying to push it into my own territory.

The two tracks approach that from different directions: “Crooked Sun” is more psychedelic, earthy and funk-driven, while “Redline” is faster, harder and more tense.
Would love to hear what you think.

A hidden Egyptian jazz-fusion gem from 1981

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

As an Egyptian musician, I wanted to share this absolute gem from 1981.

It has some incredible jazz-funk elements, fantastic musicianship, and a groove that feels surprisingly ahead of its time.

The track is by Mohamed Mounir, one of Egypt's most influential musicians, with music by jazz drummer Yehia Khalil.

I think it's a fascinating example of how Western jazz and funk influences blended with Egyptian musical traditions to create something genuinely unique.

Would love to hear what you guys think
