CAB with Auger, Brunnel, MacAlpine and Chambers.. CAB 2 especially good. Niacin also excellent, 'Organik' one of the best releases of 2005. Some great Japanese bands like Naikaku doing rock-fusion as well.

Still surprised how often 70's recording predominate people's lists of favourite jazz rock fusion - in some instances the their lists are exclusively 70's recordings. After a bit of low in the 80's (but Holdworth and Metheny came into their own), IMHO jazz rock fusion thrives and really progresses, even though many of these new recordings are issued by the artists themselves or on specialist indie labels.
Check out the following - the first eight or so that come to mind:
Garaj Mahal, Fareeq Hague Group, Wayne Krantz, Project Z, Hectic Watermelon (USA)
Panzerballett, Electric Outlet , Susan Weinert (Germany)
Alex Machacek, Conrad Schrenk (Austria)
And then there is the newer sub-genre of nu-fusion/nu jazz, e.g. Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland, EST, Bugge Wesseltoft, Bad Plus, Jaga jazzist etc.
Even the more established fusion artists move one. There is an excellent new cutting edge fusion album by guitar master David Torn, Prezens released by ECM REcords.
Just sticking with 70's bands and recordings, would imply folks are only just scratching a rather crusty surface of the jazz rock fusion genre.

Love his Zappa tribute (I presume) New Regalia, but I forget which 80's Erskine album?

is that "The Leprachaun"? if it is, which i think it is, it's a very underrated and under-acknowledged fusion masterwork. there's some great music on there. Another of his more appreciated fusion albums is "The Mad Hatter". some serious stuff on there.
have you ever checked out Chick Corea Elektrik Band?

im a huge jazz and jazz-fusion fan besides prog and other sorts.
right now im listening to one of my favorite fusion albums. Steve Jenkins - "Mad Science" it's a sick album with some tightest songs ive ever heard. Dave Fuseinski is on the album (not sure how to spell his last name)
some of my overall favorite jazz-fusion albums... all HIGHLY recommended!
Dennis Chambers - "Outbreak"
Miles Davis - "Live-Evil"
Frank Zappa - "The Grand Wazoo"
Frank Zappa - "Sleep Dirt"
Billy Cobham - "Spectrum"
Herbie Hancock - "Thrust"
Return to Forever - "Where Have I Known You Before"
John Scofield - "Pick Hits Live"
Pat Metheny Group - "The Road To You"
Pat Metheny - "Bright Size Life"
Billy Cobham/George Duke Band - "Live On Tour In Europe" it's also interesting to note how many prog artists incorporated jazz fusion into their music at some point. bands like Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd, YES, Transatlantic and others. Edited by darkshade - May 01 2007 at 04:12 |

Yeah right... but you wouldn't go see them live if they came to play at 100 km from your home and you had to make some sacrifices. Halal fan!  |

Then I'm recommending you
and also
I can't tell you about quality as I'm no connaisseur here, but I like them a lot and I know we share taste. I like the compositions, the piano playing, and of course there's Erskine at the drums. Also recently I've been going through and through the Marius Popp discography  |

listened to this gem just yesterday
 I'm for now, a jazz fan into certain jazz artists: Corea (with Return), Jarrett, E.S.T., McLaughlin (with Mahavishnu), Surman, Garbarek, Eberhard Weber. Not that I won't expand to much more. As soon as possible. |

Not to forget his performances with Ron Carter and Freddie Hubbard, as well as his studio work with Herbie Hancock, Flora Purim, among others.
Here's a great live Hubbard album featuring Joe on his usual tenor sax

Certainly sad news to the musical world that day, how cancer eats away people awarded with such musicianship and musicality. Also one saxophone master who died (not so young, nor so recently either -2001-) was Joe Henderson; unfortunately I only managed to listen to him play for others, but I might get some of his solo works soon. And I'll also be definitely checking out that album, thanks for the reminder

love the album too and as this one also 
just before this wonderfull saxphone player die he managed to record another future classic album with the same lineups as neaness of you, but intead of charlie haden on bass John Patitucci takes the duty and also features one of the new talent of today Jazz: Brad Mehldau. It is not out( May22) yet but check the website. I am extremely sad of the sudden death of Mr Brecker. but As they say only good die young. ans he sure was one of the greatest sax player from the 80's to now.!!!
