Hey man, It's not THAT heavy. But yes I've heard Bitches Brew. Maybe I'll check out Live-Evil sometime
 
Live Evil is much heavier than Bitches Brew but some tracks go on a bit...

Definitely second-the-motion on Bozzio-Levin-Stevens, esp. BLS.  Also, second 'Romantic Warrior' by RTF - very awesome 'heavy' fusion material for you there....

I know nothing about fusion, but if you want to expand into jazz-rock and canterbury then try and check out Moving Gelatine Plates.. the jazz is certainly present but they are psychedelic hard rock just as often. Their first two releases are on CDs as remasters.

    Michal Urbaniak jazz\fusion violinist. Very unique from most and has a little more edge than most.

Michal Urbaniak's  Urbanator, with two albums on the Hip Bop Records label released late 90's with some well known guests, is an interesting take on jazz funk/dance.

    I actually have not heard to much of his later (90s) material. I was talking more of his 70s stuff like his album "Fusion" which came out during the hieght of the fusion run around 1974.

I guessed you were........................ Urbanator and Urbanator 2 are worth checking out to hear where he's got to now. BTW RTF's Lenny White has recorded for the same label through the 90's - Edge  is most excellent. Makes me wonder why White has got together with Larry Coryell and Victor Bailey to produce a couple of lacklustre jazz fusion albums most recently.

There's an interesting fussion band from Buffalo, NY named Gamalon. They have two lead guitars, one is a female guitarist. I'm not really familiar with their stuff, just saw a few clips with their live performance.
