In
the field of 'Jazz-Rock' we tend to favour the guitar-bass-drums-keyboards
line-up variety more than anything else, but the inclusion of wind
and brass instruments is not something that turns us off either. The
genre is somewhat over-crowded with releases but having said that,
there are a lot of real quality bands still producing the music and
keeping it fresh - that, alongside the established names, is what
we intend to feature most heavily in this music department.
From
the earliest beginnings of the genre, we have cultivated an interest
in the 'Jazz-Rock' field and through the years have covered
artists known (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Pat Metheny, Isotope,
Brand X, etc.,) to the more obscure and upcoming talent, from
older artists such as Wayne Johnson through more contemporary names
such as Leni Stern & Alex Machacek to the undiscovered delights
of Rare Blend and the highly underrated French TV.
Here,
you will find quite a few items crossing over with our 'Guitar
Music' (Instrumental)' department, and we would draw your attention
to that, because you will find things in there that may not be classed
as 'Jazz-Rock', but will have an appeal to you as a fusion
music fan.
