Fusion is a 1961 album by the Jimmy Giuffre 3.[1]
The trio on the recording was Giuffre's second drummerless group. He said at the time that the trio was “searching for a free sense of tonality and form”.[2] The album title comes from Giuffre's sense that a meeting (fusion) of minds of the musicians was required in the free improvisation sections of the performances.[3]
It was remastered, remixed and (partially) re-released by ECM in 1992 as a double-album with the trio's other 1961-Verve recording, Thesis (with three previously unissued tracks from the August sessions), substituting an alternate take of "Trudgin'" and omitting "Used To Be."
