OPENING NOTES
Progressive Movement
Thanks for a wonderful issue on prog [April 2021]. Finally, some recognition for this often-frownedupon movement. I could never understand the resentment of a movement that gave us so many fantastic musicians (Yes, ELP, Genesis, Gentle Giant…). I’ve often found similar resentment toward the movement of jazz-rock, or fusion as it was later called. Utterly incomprehensible, as it gave us John McLaughlin, the late Chick Corea and a host of incredible musicians. So when will the fusion issue be available? Merci.
