The Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance was an award given to a song or album for excellence in the jazz fusion genre, a combination of rock and jazz. It was given at the Grammy Awards, which began in 1958 under the name Gramophone Awards.{{cite web|url=http://theenvelope.latimes.com/awards/grammys/env-grammy_awards_info,0,5279018.htmlstory?track=center|title=Grammy Awards at a Glance|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=October 10, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120309064412/http://theenvelope.latimes.com/factsheets/env-grammy_awards_info%2C0%2C5838827.htmlstory|archive-date=March 9, 2012|url-status=live}} Honors in several categories are presented at the ceremony annually by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences of the United States to "honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position".{{cite web|url=http://www2.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/ |title=Overview |access-date=October 10, 2010 |publisher=National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110103173212/http://www2.grammy.com/Recording_Academy/ |archive-date=January 3, 2011 }}

Originally called the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance, Vocal or Instrumental, the award was first presented to the jazz band Weather Report at the 22nd Grammy Awards in 1980 for the album 8:30. In 1988, the category name changed to Best Jazz Fusion Performance and was moved to a newly created Fusion field.{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AtkTAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6wYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3958,4700358&dq|title=New Grammy categories announced|date=January 5, 1988|first=David|last=Browne|access-date=October 10, 2010|work=Ocala Star-Banner|location=Ocala, Florida|publisher=The New York Times Company|archive-date=February 28, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220228212547/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AtkTAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6wYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3958,4700358&dq|url-status=live}} The category name was retired before the 33rd Grammy Awards (1992) with the addition of the award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance (currently known as Best Contemporary Jazz Album).{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-23-ca-4965-story.html|title=Message to Grammy: A Little R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Please|date=February 23, 1992|access-date=October 12, 2010|work=Los Angeles Times|first=Leonard|last=Feather|page=1|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102213515/http://articles.latimes.com/1992-02-23/entertainment/ca-4965_1_large-jazz|archive-date=November 2, 2012|url-status=live}}

The Pat Metheny Group holds the record for the most wins in this category, with a total of five. David Sanborn is the only other musician to win the award more than once, with two. The composition "Birdland", written by Weather Report, earned two musicians the award: The Manhattan Transfer won in 1981 and Quincy Jones won in 1991 for the version that appears on the compilation album Back on the Block.{{cite web|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=6CAaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ZiQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3882,2017387&dq|title=List of Grammy Award nominations|date=January 11, 1991|access-date=October 10, 2010|work=Times-News|publisher=The New York Times Company|location=Hendersonville, North Carolina|page=19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313073710/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=6CAaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=ZiQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=3882,2017387&dq|archive-date=March 13, 2016|url-status=live}} The award went to artists or groups originating from the United States each year it was presented. Lyle Mays holds the record for the most nominations, with eight (including five with the Pat Metheny group, two as a solo artist, and one shared with Metheny, of which five came in consecutive nominations between 1981 and 1985). The group Spyro Gyra holds the record for the most nominations without a win, with six. In 1990, Terri Lyne Carrington became the first solo female artist to be nominated for the award.{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-02-18-ca-1504-story.html|title=Grammy Voters Face Tough Jazz Choices|first=Zan|last=Stewart|date=February 18, 1990|work=Los Angeles Times|access-date=March 12, 2011|authorlink=Zan Stewart|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105215620/http://articles.latimes.com/1990-02-18/entertainment/ca-1504_1_male-jazz|archive-date=November 5, 2012|url-status=live}} No female artists were nominated in 1991, the final year the award was presented, making Carrington the only female solo artist to be nominated throughout the category's lifetime.
