Great time for fusion...at least for me. I never found free-form jazz to be very accessible to me....Pat Methany was one of those that got me hooked on the next generation of jazz...with real melodies..right around 1980...he and Sanborn, Clarke, Syro Gyra, Lorber, Tom Scott....they tread a fine line between saccharine soft rock and jazz. Methany hit the sweet spot for me.
