Melting World: A Journey Through FusionBy acradio on Sat, 08/29/2026 - 7:31am
This Sunday from 12–5 a.m., Melting World takes a mind-melting journey through the genre known as fusion. Emerging in the late 1960s, fusion brought electric instruments, rock rhythms and studio experimentation into jazz. Over time, the genre expanded even further, drawing composers, musicians and sounds from across the musical spectrum. We’ll explore the beginnings and evolution of this largely instrumental, virtuoso music with selections from Mahavishnu Orchestra, Miles Davis, Bill Laswell & Tony Williams, Matteo Mancuso, Jonas Hellborg & Shawn Lane, Brand X, David Torn, Jean-Luc Ponty, TEAR, PAKT and many more. Then, during the Cosmic Hour, we’ll present Bang on a Can’s reimagining of Terry Riley’s landmark minimalist work, In C. Tune in Sunday at 12 a.m. through 5 a.m., only on WUSB.
