I really love this Italian 70's progressive group called AREA that are more like avant-garde fusion than anything else. Who knows a little about fusion and can recommend some classic must-haves?
chick koreas light as a feather,bought airto and flora purim to a whole new level,caldera is carlos santanas brothers out fit,(cool suggestion qdrone).Yellow jackets first and samuri samba best!larrys barefoot boy!amen to george dukes dont let go!john scofeild with g duke cool too!
I don't think anyone really read about area. Everyone is just recommending random jazz-fusion bands. Everything I've read about them so far has compared them to Soft Machine with highly left-wing Socialist and Communist lyrics which is about the furthest thing from Fourplay and The Yellow Jackets that I can possibly think of.
passport: hand-made or infinity machine or cross-collateral (3 classics of their 20 plus albums)
weather report: sweetnighter or i sing the body electric (out there)
miles davis: in a silent way (it qualifies);honorable mention-hall of fame
friendship: that is the album & group name--great!--a top line-up together for this one album--has ernie watts on sax, played with the stones, it's a winner.
the section: fork it over: a rare fusion album by the band that backs jackson brown & james taylor...it's great (they put out two studio albums and one live one; fork it over is the best of the bunch)
