no. 'music is rotted one note' is unmistakably fusion jazz. free jazz
is different: think coltrane, sun ra, pharoah sanders, & more recently
borah bergman, anthony braxton, peter bro:tzmann, ellery eskelin... i
could namecheck for hours, the bottom line being that all improvisation
is not free jazz although free jazz _is_ based on improvisation, though
with a certain set of sounds & tones, & a particular research, but a
deeply abstracted _jazz_ root, whereas fusion gets its form from genres
other than jazz (rock, electronic, etc.)
