Jazz Fusion Ensembles
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, Louisiana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its roots in blues and ragtime. Since the 1920s Jazz Age, it has been recognized as a major form of musical expression in traditional and popular music. Jazz is characterized by swing and blue notes, complex chords, call and response vocals, polyrhythms and improvisation. Jazz has roots in European harmony and African rhythmic rituals. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. New Orleans jazz began in the early 1910s, combining earlier brass band marches, French quadrilles, biguine, ragtime and blues with collective polyphonic improvisation. But jazz did not begin as a single musical tradition in New Orleans or elsewhere. In the 1930s, arranged dance-oriented swing big bands, Kansas City jazz (a hard-swinging, bluesy, improvisat ...

Nomad (Tribal Tech Album)
''Nomad'' is the third album by fusion band Tribal Tech, a project led by guitarist Scott Henderson and bassist Gary Willis. The album was recorded in April 1988, but not released until 1990. Delay of release Although ''Nomad'' was recorded and mixed in 1988, its release was delayed by nearly two years because Tribal Tech's previous label Passport Records went bankrupt, and the group had to search for another label and buy back the rights of the album. By 1989, Tribal Tech had been signed to Relativity Records, and ''Nomad'' was planned for release that summer. However, the album was not officially released until early 1990. On the album's delay, Henderson told ''Guitar World'': "I actually had to buy back my own record from the bank. But before they allowed me to do that, they ran an investigation on me to find out if I was anybody important–if I was some kind of million-seller rock star or something. And when they finally realized that it was actually a jazz record, that it wa ...
