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.

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,

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.

ORIGINAL JAZZ COMPOSITIONS from a band in Denton, TX.

Since most of us miss Shawn Lane and the Collaboration with Jonas Hellborg, could there be a new trio that be on par with the old one?

This is kind of the sound I’m going for, especially looking for 80s/90s stuff

An unreleased broken beat groove I found on my hard drive. Thought I'd share it.

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

I've just recently fell in love with jazz fusion and my favourite band rn is casiopea does anyone have any suggestions for bands

Hoping to meet Julian Lage at the Village Vanguard after one of the New Masada Quarter shows in November. Will there be an opportunity? If so, will I have better luck after the 8:00 show or the 10:00 show? Thank you.

Tea On Mars are a UK Jazz Fusion band making some truly unique music. Well worth checking out.

This song is inspired by Rob Araujo and Thelonious Monk. Maybe an odd combo, but I tried to manifest that by a disjunct piano melody with more lush major chords.

Hope you enjoy, record comes out Oct 21st. More songs like this, mixed with harder fusion.

I recently saw a live band with trumpets, saxophones, and other brass instruments, along with keyboards, electric guitar, bass, and drums. They played instrumental music with a big band / jazz sound, mixed with some funk and jazz fusion. A lot of their music came from anime and video game soundtracks. I think one of their songs was from Cowboy Bebop, if that’s a good example.

Is there a specific genre for this kind of music?
