Herbie Hancock's Mwadishi albums are absolutely far out, but the offshoot albums from Mwadishi alum, especially Eddie Henderson (the Realization LP!) and Bernie Maupin (the Jewel in the Lotus LP!), are equally essential.  

Check out Alice Coltrane's late 60s and early 70s stuff.  Another favorite is Don Cherry's Brown Rice......browwwwn riysssssssssss.  

Love that someone mentioned Alan Gowan earlier - anytime his name pops up, I smile.  Yeah, check out those Gilgamesh albums for some groovy mellow jazz.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

Carlos Santana and Alice Coltrane share a credit on the 1974 "Illuminations" album. Together with arranging and conducting the string section, Alice composed the instrumental "Bliss: The Eternal Now." She also performed on the harp and piano, which, when combined with Santana's guitar tones, created an orchestral revelation of the ether sounding as though it contained a sunbeam.

I like the stuff Santana did with Coltrane and McLaughlin.. It's been a while since I've listened to "Caravanserai"

It is worth paying close attention to the Armenian keyboardist and composer Tigran Hamasyan and his group called Aratta Rebirth. All in all, I see nothing lacking in their 2009 album "Red Hail" at all. It is unquestionably a progressive fusion gem. 
I believe that Hamasyan's celestial piano, Ben Wendel's masterful soprano sax soloing, and Areni Agbabian's angelic wordless vocals on "Love Song" are an adequate complement for this thread.

Hi,

There was in the mid 70's a jazz piece that had someone playing solo along side a sitar sound ... I don't think it is Miles, although the style of the solo would likely be considered very much like him.

I know this is not saying much, or explaining much but anyone have any ideas of where to look? That piece was really far out, btw, and I have a bit of it, which was at the end of a jazz show just before the Space Pirate Radio show one time. I think it was between 1974/1976 or there abouts.

And thx if we can find it ... I have never found it, but I would almost say that the way it was played was less "jazz" and a bit more "ecm'ish".
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

If you have a bit of it, you might be able to find it.. I used to use a site where you'd upload a few seconds, and it usually would find it.. Or maybe upload it onto YouTube? I'm sure someone in here would know.

Best I've heard in many years. It's from 1976... I just discovered it today.  The 2nd track has beautiful vocals.  You must hear this.  Will do more research to be sure.  if you dont want to hear the whole album at least listen to "sail away" at 28:42... One of the best clean guitar solos ever... Blew my mind.

Hmmm...for me the whole lp Caravanserai by Santana fits in here nicely.

Not quite '70s (1983), but dreamy/meditative -

Yep absolutely - their masterpiece too - it's one album I'd certainly want with me on a desert island... and as you suggest it was made to be listened to as a whole... the mood just builds and builds until you get to that stunning final track.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

Jan Hammer Group's "Hyperspace" from Melodies consists of Jan improvising over Steve Kindler's rapid-fire violin bowing. Just lovely!
