I'm fascinated by this 'fusion' playing, can anyone dissect it for me?

  Also, fiddling some more and avoiding work, I realised that the higher of the two dominants is the flat five sub of the lower - with a bit of voice leading F7 - E7 - A major sounds very 19th century. For example:<br><br>x        x        x<br>4        3        2<br>5       1        2<br>3        x        2<br>0       2         0<br>x        0<span>        x<br><br>F7     E7      A<br><br>Voice leading may be putting it a bit strongly, but there it is. No help at all with the widdly, but it's the sort of thing that entertains me.</span>
