Long Distance Voyager
some recent releases:
Bugge Wesseltoft, Marius Rypdal & Terje Rypdal - Vossabryg
Trio Beyond - Saudades
Nik Bärtsch's Ronin - Stoa
classic jumping point:
Bitches Brew
Jack Johnson
In a Silent Way
- Miles Davis
Dudes who played with Miles and went on to form their own fusion bands in the 70's:
Chick Corea - Return to Forever
John McLaughlin - Mahavishnu Orchestra
Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter - Weather Report
The early albums by these bands are all worth checking out.
Miles made some wild fusion music between 1971-75 wore on, none of it as inspired as Bitches Brew or Jack Johnson, but very cool just the same (and even more experimental):
Pangaea
Dark Magus
Live Evil
Agharta
Get Up

Indeed. And Bill Ward was, supposedly, trained in the jazz tradition (from what I've read, anyway).

Absolutely. The guitarist on "Spectrum" is a young and phenominal Tommy Bolin. Jeff Beck got some influence from Tommy. I would suggest Derek Trucks. His album "Soul Serenade" Guitar-driven Jazz with a blues song dropped in with vox by Gregg Allman. Of the "young gun" guitarists playing today, Derek IMO, in one of the best. The tone is so smooth, with brilliant slide playing. Derek is the nephew of Allman Bros. drummer Butch Trucks. Derek could be Duane Allman re-incarnated. Also Paco De Lucia, amazing flamenco playing infused with a jazz sensibility.

Hell, I rib you non-stop for your shitty attitude but even I can admit that I've learned a lot about prog from you, and discovered some very interesting bands. There are just a lot of things that we'll never come close to agreeing on.
edit: did you neg rep me for my post on how blues and jazz were both major influences on rock and roll from its inception?

Miles Davis is the only real jazz musician I know, but his "Kind of Blue" album is amazing.
As for music with a jazz influence, bands such as Farmakon, Dream Theater (sorta), Estradasphere, Cryptopsy, Atheist, Secret Chiefs 3 (not so sure about a jazz influence, but still a good band), and Ephel Duath have a jazz influence to their music.

My professor played unbelievable Lalo Schifrin arranged album in my COltrane class the other day. It's called Firebird, and I really want to try to pick it up. Basically, he arranged some classic works by Dizzy, Parker, and others, to blend with Stravinsky. I was in awe of it; truly awesome musical blend.
Yeah, thats a great trio. I dont know if anyone mentioned them, but Tunnels, who opened for PT a couple times are quite interesting as well.
