Long Island Musicians Classifieds

Hey - we are Fusion Collective, a collaboration of several dozen jazz fusion players from Long Island & NYC.

We jam out three nites a week at clubs located in Baldwin, Glen Cove, East Northport and Commack.

All fusion players are invited to join the mix!

We play electric jazz/funk/latin/afrocuban/fusion tunes, as well as spontaneous improv stuff.
