I’m with you. best musicians in the world played fusion jazz and most people never heard of any of them. Ponty, Corea, Di Meola, Ryne, etc. Unbelievable talents. Prog Rock is the new fusion and where the best musicians are today. I’m 57 and just can’t get enough Dream Theater or Symphony X.
Yeah Dream Theater is my Writing and Working Music. Never gets old.
I was really into both Chick Corea and Al Di Meola for a while, and they just got lost in the tsunami of music.
I have always loved music, but going through the nineties, I began to lose touch with it. I got so busy I didn’t have time to just sit and listen to a CD, changing it when it was done.
Then the digital music age hit, and I spent weeks digitizing my music. Boy, it has never been the same for me. I bought one of those ipods as soon as they came out...and man, was that an amazing transformation. All my music at my fingertips, the right music for the right time and place.
And all that wasted time I had in my car commuting to and from work? Digital audio books and podcasts fill that nicely for me now.
