58: Jazzrock ???

Jazzrock...what the hell is that?

Is it rock that "jazzes"?

Or jazz that "rocks"?

I think most jazz really rocks, so that can't be it...

In a (silent-sic) way it started with the long songs Miles Davis

did on the "everybody loves to hate" album Bitches Brew, I guess.

Fact is in the early and mid 70's there was a whole lot of this music,

some of it was a bit tiring,

but lots of these sounds are still grooving me right out of my head!

Best kind of jazzrock (for me) is the kind that's still funky...

... and preferably uptempo.

And as a extra bonus, I'd like to have some freaky bass in it too.
