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. Others use elaborate chord progressions, unconventional time signatures, or melodies with counter-melodies.

Isotope was a British jazz rock band, fronted by the guitarist Gary Boyle. Boyle founded the band in June 1972 and a first album, ''Isotope'', was largely composed by their keyboardist Brian Miller. Jeff Clyne played bass and Nigel Morris played drums. Clyne and Miller left in 1974, however, and were replaced by Hugh Hopper and Laurence Scott (born 7 February 1946) respectively. After touring, this new line-up recorded the band's second album, ''Illusion''. In late 1974, the band appeared on film on BBC 2's ''The Old Grey Whistle Test'', playing "Spanish Sun" from the album. Further touring followed and there were various personnel changes. ''Deep End'' was recorded in 1976 with two keyboardists; Zoe Kronberger and Frank Roberts. Hopper played on one track, but the bass was otherwise played by Dan K. Brown.
