To the Question of Definition of Fusion in the History of Jazz Art
Abstract
The article examines the significance of the fusion movement in the history of jazz art. Having emerged during the crisis period in jazz performance in the second half of the 1960s, fusion had an important influence on the formation of new norms regarding jazz instrumentation, sound and repertoire. The aim of the study was to identify the role of fusion in the processes of changing the jazz musical paradigm of the late 1960–70s. The objectives are focused on determining the features of this movement and the historical significance of fusion in the dynamics of jazz culture. In the process of the research, sources in English of such authors were used. The article contains important conclusions about the role of fusion in the history of jazz development and its significance for world musical culture.
