Check out Dreams, their self
titled debut is some awesome jazz rock from 1970 I think. It features
the Brecker brothers on horns, John Abercrombie on guitar and Billy
Cobham on drums. Think a jammier and well, better version of Blood,
Sweat & Tears. Highly recommended.

Also, I think that the first 2 or 3 Chicago albums would fall into this catagory. I would also list those (especially 2) as highly recommended.

Pekka Pojhola is listed on this site and his records are great jazz rock as well.

	Patto - self titled first album. I was intrigued to read in original liner notes of the album, that Patto thought of themselves as playing jazz but (then in 1971), as a band set up to play rock intruments. Olly Hassell playing vibes (as he had previously with Timebox) gives that feel, but there are several instrumental breaks, that are deliberately set out to give a solo which is jazz. I suppose thinking around, I could come up with several other bands who would play straight rock for the verse and chorus of a song, but then go off at a tangent and play a solo which was free and jazzier than heard elsewhere: Skid Row - check out Gary Moore's guitarwork on Love Story (ex. *34 Hours), John Wilson guitarwork with the rest of Stud* (the rhythm section being the remainder of Taste when Rory Gallagher left), Igginbottom with Holdsworth. Comments to this "phenomenon" of jazz in an otherwise rock setting in the early 70's is most welcomed.

	Aim here is to list some good jazz rock albums by artists not as yet included in the archives, but importantly recently recieved and played.> Scott Henderson: Tore Down House (Warner). Decided to get myself a legit version. Scott Henderson's guitarwork is storming on a variety of jazz rock, blues and blues-soul numbers. Thelma Houston gives a belting performance as guest vocalist. Stand out track: I Hate You - beautifully nasty lyrics. Virgil Donati: Just Add Water (http://www.virgildonati.com/). Jazz rock improv jam by the Planet X's Aussie drummer VD (before he joined Derek Sherinian), and Scott Henderson in incredible form Nicholas D'Amato's Royal Society: Nullius In Verba (Buckyball Records). Wayne Krantz guests on guitar and in excellent form - in fact a good introduction to the oft forgotten NYC based guitarist (also check out Krantz's mid 90's recording Two Drink Minimum, which should be available on Enja Records).
