Nope. They don't have a website, unfortunately.

Fully agree with the Embryo part - need to check out Aera.


Check out also LABORATORIUMThumbs%20Up

We've seen worse spelling and grammar than yours here Wink

As for JR/F: there's so much to be found and discovered, and there's a lot of stuff that is just on the other side of the borders between Jazz Rock and other Jazz that it will take forever to know everything. I've been on PA for over a year now, and before that I hadn't even considered delving into this genre. Now I'm addicted...

Brand X their Morrocan Roll is a very good album.
Allready mentioned Hectic Watermelon. Never enough mentions for this one though!!
And give Kenso and Fromuz a try.
Not yet in the Archives are Combination Head, a very good band.

Sure - no problem. Nice Perigeo review, Miguel.

ah! i forgot to say I know too Weather Report; thanks Angelo, if its possible to merge the two, great, if not, it's no biggy, I just want to have a thread of appreciation of Jazz Rock where everyone can give tips to albums no one knows or discuss the musicianship of the groups connected to this subgenre or just to jazz, and it working, I dont know a lot of names discussed here...dont know where to start!

Herbie Hancock Trio with Ron Carter & Tony Williams is a far from bad fusion album.



More jazz than rock is the album This That of Dick-Heckstall Smith (now who did he play with before? Wink), Jack Bruce and John Stevens. Quite enjoyable, or as some say - a classic.

I got both earlier this week, and apart from that I enjoy Soft Machine, Al Di Meola, Pierre Moerlen's Gong, Embryo, Hectic Watermelon, Weather Report, Jaco Pastorius, Return to Forever and many more...

i'm taking guitar courses from this guy who's spent the last three years studying jazz improvisation in Leeds and every now and then he suggests me some jazz artists and the last one was Guthrie Govan and i'd have to say he's OK...
