Are you kidding me?! Â This is either a pathetic troll, or you are completely full of shit bashing jazz fusion. Â Zawinul and Shorter were some of the founding voices of fusion. Â
I've listened to a lot of music from Rush to Dream Theater to Pink Floyd to Opeth, to Porcupine Tree to Genesis to the Mars Volta but I've never heard anything like this before in my life. I've never heard half these instruments. What is that? Where did it come from? I feel like a kid in a zoo of scary and amazing animals. I really have no idea what's going on but it reminds me of my childhood. The odd instruments sound like the sounds my old grandfather used to make when he was sitting on the rocking chair with his wife, my grandmother, in his lap, smoking away at his pipe. I really don't know how to describe it.
The only negative of this purchase is the cover art that seems to display a man engaged in illicit activity ranging from drugs, to prostitution to terrorism. But cover aside (you can just rip it off or throw away the case) this is one of the best albums I've ever bought.
Mingus was a hugely seminal influence on jazz in general and jazz bassists in particular. Â He has a large catalog of excellent work. Â That's a great album. Â Jazz is a very rich genre of music. Â Eat a bag of dicks.
