Some of you readers may notice the sudden absence of posts singling out "Jazz-Rock Fusion" (especially "Classic Era" J-R F). This is the result of a new and sudden event: I've created not one but two entirely new and separate blogsites dedicated exclusively to Jazz-Rock Fusion.
A Compendium of "Classic Era" Jazz-Rock Fusion (https://j-rfusioncompendium.blogspot.com/) and The Supernova that was Jazz-Rock Fusion (https://explorationsinjazzrockfusion.blogspot.com/) have been created in order to offer lists and reviews of the albums from the "Classic Era" of Jazz-Rock Fusion (the Compendium) and research articles and opinion pieces regarding the artists and albums, trends and forces, and historical perspectives of that amazing ten-year period (Supernova), respectively.
While I personally still feel that the Jazz-Rock Fusion subgenre was very much a part or product of the progressive rock movement, I see enough readers who do not/will not include the artists and/or their albums when discussing or searching for their progressive rock. Thus I have separated J-R F from my prog publications with the intention of both extricating that information from the prog lover's musical searches but also celebrating J-R Fusion as its own entity. Making its information and discussion more its own will hopefully attract people who are more enthusiastic to J-RF specific topics.
Prog Is Alive and Well in the 21st Century will chug along acting as if business is usual, but we all know that a passion for Jazz-Rock Fusion has diminished considerably my interest and attention to Prog World. Only time will tell how well I split my time between the two.
