This was an easy vote for Mwandishi. As much as I love the two first Weather Report records, especially I Sing the Body Electric which I consider to be quite the masterpiece, the trio blast of Mwandishi, Crossings and Sextant just may be the coolest thing inside of fusion besides Miles himself. My fave has always been the jagged edged and hard to swallow Sextant.
I don't care too much about the other bands, and I am one of the few who thinks that Mahavishnu were extremely overrated. Still are imo, don't shoot me.

Weather Report for me, even though they did fall off (rather sharply IMO) after a certain point.

The Mwandishi trilogy is amazing, and voted for Hancock. Surprised RTF hasn't got votes yet though. Their last live double was superb.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Mwandishi would be my pick if RTF wasn't here. I enjoy RTF's electric period very much but I'm voting for them because of their exceptional debut album. A jazzy latino masterpiece with phenomenal performance on the fender rhodes by Chick Corea. I think this one is rated below 3.5 which is not understandable.

A complete toss up between the first 3. Weather Report I can omit, they fall off after a few albums, too much smooth jazz for my taste.
I would then pick Return to Forever over Mahavishnu....not by much tho

Weather Report has always been my favorite here.

Why bother writing my own post, when someone else says much what I would say myself. The Mwandishi band for sure. I might have opened it up to more than Hancock led Mwandishi band works as well, though. Eddie Henderson's Realization, amongst others, deserves some love here.

I favor RtF or MO on this. Weather Report would be a close third. I wish Jaco was still with us. What a beast he was.

I really like Mahavishnu, but I don't know the others too well yet, so no vote.
