rock/jazz fusion


i ran across a group called "Jazz is Dead"; Jimmy Herring, T Lavitz, Billy Cobham who did instrumental versions of some G.Dead stuff. I loved it. It reminds me of old Jeff Beck; "Wired", "Blow by Blow", I wish I had more of the style. The recent Jeff Beck was way too techno/alternative, lacked the soulfullness of his older stuff. Any suggestions?

Two other groups that I should have mentioned in my original post:
1. Tony Williams group, Lifetime, from the late 1960's;
2. The Jeff Lorber Fusion.
I've got a few for you here:
Solution - Cordon Bleu
Sea Level - Sea Level
Dixie Dregs - Dregs of the Earth
David Sancious & Tone - Transformation & the speed of love
Edgar Froese - Ypsilon in Malaysian Pale
Weather Report - Heavy Weather
Brand X - Livestock
Jean Luc Ponty - Cosmic Messenger
Gentle Giant - In a Glass House
and to you I say, thanks again for "mo music!", I'd say trying to keep up with this list will just about tap out my budget for awhile, unless I skip the rent...

Well then don't take this list over to www.allmusic.com and start hot-linking from these groups to related groups - your budget will never recover! On the other hand, for questions like this one, that site will give you more ideas than you can ever afford. -kirk
