fusion jazz recommendations

try captain beefheart---lick my decals off baby & trout mask replica for fusion w/ all players in different oddball time signitures and different keysm, if you like sun ra.

My fusion favorites will serve to amplify some of the previous suggestions:

Miles- Big Fun, In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew, On The Corner, Miles In the Sky <-some of it is fusionish

Mahavishnu Orchestra- Inner Mounting Flame

Herbie Hancock- Mwandishi, Crossings

most of Tony Williams Lifetime (with John McLaughlin and Larry Young)

Lee Morgan- Last Session (marginally fusionish)

John Abercrombie- Timeless, Gateway (first one)

Weather Report- I Sing the Body Electric

I am deep into fusion. I would recommend(if you will be able to find it) NYJG or just solo albums of Torsten De Winkel. to order visit www.nyjg.de;
The other band is Brand X which is jazz-rock with fusion the musicians are quite famous Phil Collins, Percy Jones...

Try Charlie Hunter and Pound for Pound(Can't remember title but disk was released about 3 years ago. Charlie plays an 8 string guitar/bass and is quite amazing. I might be cheating here as some might consider this "just" jazz, though it's a tough call. Nicely recorded.

used to play with Chick Corea... killer guitar.... Kiss My Axe.... If you buy it and don't like it, I'll buy it from you and pay the shipping! trust me.....
