rock/jazz fusion

Fantastic! Best damn thread I've heard in a long time. Now I have some stuff to get. Thanks to all of you. I used to own some of this stuff on vinyl: billy Cobham "spectrum", and Mahavishnu "birds of fire", Romantic Warrior. loved them. I probably will replace them with cd. I am a big Santana fan on some of his stuff. Am loooking forward to checking out all your recomendations.
good listening
