Jazz/Fusion Recommendations

[Vamos]

I wonder if anyone here would recommend some good Jazz/Fusion music, as I would like to explore more this type of music. Here are the ones I know and like:

Jeff Beck, Jean-Luc Ponty, Al Di Meola, Pat Metheny, Return To Forever, Jaco Pastorius, Weather Report, Hiromi Uehara, etc.

I know bands like Cynic, Atheist, Spiral Architect and Planet X are usually put in this group, so anything along these lines would be good too (no Arsis or Necrophagist please ).

Thanks.

You can try Gilgamesh's s/t album.It is a solid Jazz/Fusion album with Canterbury influences.Or Mindflowers' Improgressive I can suggest.

Pekka Pohjola is recommended.

Billy Cobham's Spectrum is a rather influential and popular fusion album from the 70s (also has a distinctive latin influence in the drumming). That'd be a great place to start.

Uhm, you might want to start with this:

Miles Davis-In A Silent Way

Uhm, you might want to start with this:

Miles Davis-In A Silent Way

Any other Miles' electric albums from the late-60s, early-70s would suffice.

Mahavishnu Orchestra
Shakti

Seeing as Miles and Mahavishnu are being mentioned, anything with John McLaughlin involved is a winner.
