At Music Street Journal we land fusion under progressive rock. My reasoning is that the very exploratory nature of the music fits and the two styles share a lot of fans. Besides that, often fusion has a rock angle and the balance between jazzy prog and more rocking fusion is a pretty fine line. This set is perhaps more traditional jazz, and I probably should have landed it under non-prog for that reason. The thing is, I think there is a real "art music" vibe to a lot of this, tipping the balance in the prog heading direction. Whether you agree or not, this is a very satisfying and entertaining release that works very well.
