Pat Metheny's Offramps in this list but I like Embryo, Kraan, Steely Dan and Jaga too.

Nice selection with a handful of favorites. 

Whenever I Seem to be far Away. The Owl's short review on RYM is spot on:

...A rather spooky and compelling album. It makes me think of what might happen if Jimi Hendrix had more jazz chops and  jammed with King Crimson (on the first 2 cuts). Driven along by a roaring fuzz bass, tense drumming, spooky Mellotron and piano plus a very forlorn sounding French Horn, these first 2 tracks hold your attention quite nicely, blurring improvised and composed passages with great ease. Terje's guitar tone is a very thick and haunting (or haunted) sort of thing that stays with you for days...

Sextant

That album didn't just fuse jazz and rock, it fused genres that didn't exist yet, plus funk. Wild, ahead of its time, just a brilliant romp. Love it.

On The Corner is more properly jazz-funk, not jazz-rock.
 
I go with Herbie.

I really love the first half of Royal Scam, but it has to be Embryo.

I sort of agree, except I think Crossings (perhaps my favorite album) from the year before did everything better.

Jagga is great, for today. A wonderful new band. If they have a full, long, and productive 25 year life span...

...that'll be half of Herbie's and Pat's.

Tough to decide. Billy was on Sextant, though. Taught and played around my home state growing up. Hometown pride!

Herbie.

Of the ones I've heard, Jaga, followed by Miles, Material and Herbie.

I'll vote for the one that is 10 but got knocked off. is that Elegant Gypsy perchance? If yes. good, if not... well. Al Di Meola another great Italian...

Nice albums there. Love Offramp, Dan... Miles for putting more brains into a funk album than anyone...

Pat Metheney's one gig I saw was an absolute gem. First I'd heard of the great bassist Christian McBride. I mean ya don't get the Metheney gig for being so so and this guy... sorry, who was the guitarist again?

Re-reading the OP I forgot about this being a poll I accidentally submitted too soon. I don't remember what the tenth option was.LOL

Jaga Jazzist, One-Armed Bandit.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
