If anybody should be interested in my own definition of Jazz-Rock so, it's simply some kind of Jazz and Rock fusion, and Rock elements being significantly present.
For details see my Prog defining article
http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127835&PN=1&SID=6216975f6ff79b949326c5f3e115c5935763889

Besides that, I can recommend very much the book Jazz-Rock. A History (1998) by Stuart Nicholson.

 a long way from being my favourite genre tbh. I enjoy the Colosseum 2 albums Electric Savage and War Dance as well as the UK debut album (although this is only partly fusion/jazz rock) plus the ELP track When The Apple Blossom Blooms. I also like the Liquid Tension Experiments albums a lot. I can take or leave Soft Machine and The Mahavishnu Orchestra but they are fine. The drumming is the only thing that attracts me. Arguably Elephant 9 are more jazz/fusion than anything else they might be and they are probably my favourite new discovery of the last 5 years . Not sure that they count though..

I can tell about my own interest for Jazz-Rock, if only looking at it as a kind of music and not a term, that it began in my teenage years, back in mid-70's. I had a period at that time when I only was hooked on instrumental Rock (in fact Prog) music, like Mike Oldfield and Rick Wakeman's The Six Wives of Henry VIII. Then, one day, I don't remember exactly how, Birds of Fire got to my hands - I think I saw the record at the local library, and I liked the cover. - That was at that time a very usual way for me to discover some new to me music. 
Anyway, listening to Birds of Fire showed to be one of those really magical experiences, and I didn't think of its music as something else than the other instrumental music, I was listening to - certainly not as Jazz. At about the same time, I discovered Return to Forever, Weather Report, the Danish band Secret Oyster, all likewise magical, and others, and that showed to be the beginning of my very close and enjoyable relation to this sub-genre. Tongue

By the way, in fact it all began in a small way already a couple of years earlier with Hot Rats

Many great suggestions have been made!  

Of course, I gravitate to the usual stuff = Mahavishnu (Emerald), RTF (Where Have...) etc. 

Don't forget "Powers of Ten" by Shawn Lane! 

Some of my favorites are solo projects or side projects: 

"Shakti" by John McLaughlin 

"Stanley Clarke" second LP, and also "School Days" are personal favorites! 

"Blow by Blow" by Jeff Beck 

"Spectrum" by Billy Cobham 

Chicago is quite a capital for Jazz Rock Fusion, including:

"Rough Draft" by Apprentice 

"Scramble" by Kick the Cat 

More to follow!

Hi,

Sad for me, was on what's his name's thing on TB and him making a comment about the "voice" introducing the instruments that I thought was not nice. I think that Viv and Mike wanted to make it sound really cool that these instruments were listed, which OBVIOUSLY was a throwback to the original song that was a bit of a hit by the Bonzo Dog Band ... called "The Intro and the Outro" I think it was, and ... yeah ... it was meant to be fun and then some, but as someone looking at the music "seriously", a voice making it light and enjoyable is not a good thing. Vivian was an outstanding singer, narrator and had a voice that should have been used a lot more were it not that at the time, he was simply dismissed and ignored, which I think really hurt him. And then hearing him making fun of Marat/Sade ... gives Vivian a completely different intelect and ability that is rarely associated with folks involved in rock music, many of which, could be said to not be musically talented at all.

This is my kind of thread! I'll come back with a massive list later, but lots of what I love is already posted. AWESOME.

I'm very glad and impressed to see this list, Poul, and I can tell that I'm particularly fond of the Secrets. Big smile

I can tell you, as well, that I've began to think about letting some of "my" future threads be inspired by your A-Z lists, if that woud be okay with you?

Happy to hear that, Frenetic! - even I'm personally not so happy with the very massive. Smile

That's absolutely fine. I'm honoured that you're inspired by my A-Z lists. Now, I need to make a start on putting together an A-Z list of fave Prog-Folk albums, although it could take quite awhile. It's going to be fun though.  Smile

Just super with this A-Z list possibility.

And glad to hear about your Prog Folk list - and certainly no need to hurry with that. Smile

Just to let you know, I've changed my choice for the letter "P" to the Pat Metheny Group - American Garage, having just heard the album for the first time following Grumpy's recommendation. The album's much better than my original choice of Panama Red. I'm not into drugs anyway, despite rumours to the contrary. Tongue

Yes, you made Grumpy glad, and I can tell about myself, it's long time ago with some heavy smoke - even my memories are pretty good. Star

Heavy Smoke sounds like a good name for a Psychedelic Rock band. Here's a few I found earlier which came close to Heavy Smoke but no cigar. Smile

Lazy Smoke
The Smoke
Sweet Smoke
T.P. Smoke

The double album by American trumpeter Miles Davis is the best for me. He used a mix of guitar and synthesizer. All songs released now are somehow similar to this album. He even won a Grammy as far as I remember. Btw, my musical taste is quite specific. I like mixes of different compositions. I listen to them via YouTube mostly. However, it is problematic to do it outside. So I use http://youtube-to-mp3.mymp3.red/" rel="nofollow - https://youtube-to-mp3.mymp3.red/ to download them to my player. I can’t imagine myself on the street without music.

You didn't find Secret Oyster to be good enough for this party? Or forgotten?
