I don't agree onfusion but smooth was and is terrible and popish. Sure some fusion was bad but electric Miles w
is fusion and lots of great fusion came from guys that played with him. Those that hated Miles for going electric got over it......or not. I disliked the stuff after Star People where he covered pop like Cyndi Lauper and Michael Jackson.
I GRE up hearing pop vocal jazz in the 60's and didnt care for that but fusion brought me in the door. The musicians were often very talented. Sure not everyone's cup of tea but like I said it opened me to the whole genre.
