''Modern Drummers Mike Haid stated: "You'll find ''lots'' of notes on BPM's ''Delete and Roll'', all of them splattered about lengthy and complex Zappa-style compositions...

Jazz Fusion
Jazz fusion (also known as fusion and progressive jazz) is a music genre that developed in the late 1960s when musicians combined jazz harmony and jazz improvisation, improvisation with rock music, funk, and rhythm and blues. Electric guitars, amplifiers, and keyboards that were popular in rock and roll started to be used by jazz musicians, particularly those who had grown up listening to rock and roll. Jazz fusion arrangements vary in complexity. Some employ groove-based vamps fixed to a single key or a single chord with a simple, repeated melody.

These arrangements, whether simple or complex, typically include improvised sections that can vary in length, much like in other forms of jazz.
