Oh ho ho ho. I am so glad this little conversation ensued without my knowledge because I am such a jazz hater.
I like stuff that is described of as in the Wikipedia entry about Frank Zappa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zappa), as having "jazz forms, voicings and structures". I think if it has chords like a duck, if it has solos like a duck, then chances are it is a duck, ie jazz.
Jazz snobbism has kept me away from "jazz" for so long, I am finally starting to like actual jazz. I love Uzeb, which I guess is fusion.
Anyone who acts snobby about your tastes in music should just shut up. People should just like whatever music they like without having to make excuses. If you run into a jazz snob again, just satisfy yourself with the thought that they are stuck in a particular era, and they can't get out of it. Nod'n'smile.
