One Shot is simply smoking:relentless,never dull.James Mac Gaw,when playing with Magma,still finds
opportunities to shine but with One  Shot he's as lethal as John Mc Laughlin or Radim Hadlik!Go ahead
for Snake Oil too.They released Doustrian Dances and Uppercut attitudes a wonderful 2cd set with James
Mc Gaw guesting on one of them.
I was born in the land of Mahavishnu,not so far from Kobaia.I'm looking for the world

I know and really like some big names, Mahavishnu, RTF, Weather Report, and very interested in Area, jazz rock with vocals, and what vocals.Clap
Maneige and Sloche also sound wonderful, but that's really not something that you can find easily. Ouch

Area is one hell of a band. i heard about them in 2005 when i was getting into prog rock, but never explored their music until this year, unfortunately. They are one of my favorite jazz-rock bands

i need to get some of their live albums. i have all the studio ones

Agree with you there!  As I agree with the thread originator on Di Meola, RTF, etc.

For older-school, don't forget Blood, Sweat A& Tears second self-titled album (1968).  Some real excellent jazz-rock / fusion ideas for the time.  As was the first two Chicago albums (1969, 1970) (all three produced by James William Guercio - maybe a connection there).

Little newer is 'Jeff Beck with the Jan Hammer Group Live' (1977):  the things Hammer can do with a synth is amazing!  Of equal caliber is Jeff Beck 'There and Back' (1980), also featuring Jan Hammer - and Simon Philips on drums!

Indeed. Wonderful band!
 
I recommend their compilation entitled "Dregs", which features three of their albums released from 1980-82 on 2 CD'sBig%20smile
