Description: With the explosion of cool jazz stations playing Kenny G. and David Sanborn and downtown clubs grooving to the sounds of acid jazz and retro funk, jazz-rock has arrived. The quintessential crossover form, jazz-rock encompasses the most popular hybrid styles, from 1970s fusion to the latest in acid jazz. Jazz-Rock: A History provides the reader with a clear overview of the many trends and musical genres which comprise this hugely successful music. Looking at the story from both sides, the author not only shows the impact of rock on the jazz of such greats as Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, but also how jazz influenced the rhythm and blues of James Brown and the mainstream rock of Cream and Santana.
