Is there a connection between jazz fusion and progressive rock? Both genres involve virtuosos performing complex arrangements. They both spawned in the late 1960s. Some musicians in prog rock have ventured into fusion. Here to discuss this topic and promote his newest prog-rock album, The World Is Loud, is Adam Nitti! Adam has had an illustrious career as a master bass player in all kinds of genres and has performed with people like Kenny Loggins, Michael McDonald, Dave Weckl, Jon Anderson, and Marco Minneman. He has also released a number of jazz fusion solo albums that demonstrate his incredible skill on the bass guitar. With The World Is Loud, Adam has returned to his earliest influences of progressive rock and talks about the inspiration behind this record with Destin and Drew. Adam comments on how his career impacted his writing process for this album and shares his perspective as an educator on the future of prog rock.
