i happen to love both branches of prog on this and if i must agree JAZZ nailed it and Jim drove it home too. the complexity of both divisions are note eliminative of each other. and in the hands of throughly competent magicians each can be as complex as the other...why do they get lumped together...because each does the same thing...they break away from the set and settled and travel roads unheard to bring new canvases to the listener.
prog, jazz, fusion...it's all Good and we eat it up here at Aural Moon.
p.s. nice to see that altime #1 quote of yours Jim in context...nearly fell off my chair when i read it.
fusion was not my daddy's music but he could play!
