Jazz-Rock as a whole is definitely my favourite in this part of my collection, and I became very fond of a number of albums 
in this style already in mid-'70s, in my late teenage years. 
Some of them I love to this day, and they're among my most fave regardless genre:

    Mahavishnu Orchestra  (USA)  -  Birds of Fire  (1973)
    Osibisa  (Ghana)  -  Osibisa   (1971)

    Jean-Luc Ponty  (F)  -  Upon the Wings of Music  (1975)

    Return to Forever  (USA)  -  Where Have I Known You  Before (1974) 

    Secret Oyster  (DK)  -  Sea Sun   (1974)

    Stomu Yamashta  (J)  -  Raindog   (1975)

I've added one more record to my mainstream Jazz section, a record I before had decided to sell, so it was on my sell list 
for some years. Now I changed my mind and put it back in my collection, not least due to its special recording and very good 
sound quality, plus the fact that it's other kind of Jazz (Dixieland) than all my other Jazz records.

It is   Climax Jazz Band  (CAN)  -  direct to disk  (1977)

       The absolutely earliest album in this part of my music collection is Jukka Tolonen's  A Passenger to Paramaribo  which I bought 
in 1978 when I for a year was studing psychology and living in the city of Ĺrhus in Northern Jutland. It was a quite special year 
which I remember well, and this record is quite a lot for me a part of that time.

'Maiden Voyage' (1965) and Speak lIke a CHild(1968) are superb ones by Hancock

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers would be a nice addition to my mainstream Jazz section if I could find a highrated album with
a cool cover I could like. Big smile

I probably have around 450 'jazz' albums depending on how you classify 'jazz'. That's about 20% of my collection.
