'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.) -- david
