Just found this.  They were American, from where precisely I was never sure, and this was their first album from 1975.

 

It’s a bit more pop overall than most on this thread, with some hilariously cheesy lyrics in places (“climb aboard my rocket ship, the oxygen is free” in Let’s Fly Away) but the best tracks are In Flight, Latin Dippy Doo (never mind the silly title), Rhapsody to You and Theme to the Stratosphere which are more jazz-fusion leaning.

Glad I bumped this thread. Wink Some great choices on it lately, especially Brian Augar, Transit Express, and oh hell yes Larry Coryell!  I just listened to his 1980 effort “Standing Ovation” and it’s just ridiculously good, as are his duet albums with Steve Khan, Alphonse Mouzon and Phillip Catherine.

It would have been great to see Coryell at a small gig like that.
LOL! Well, Smak, although they were recorded a number of jazz-rock / fusion instrumentals and although they are in PA' JR/F section (by the way, I guess that Smak were placed in the JR/F section before the Eclectic Prog section existed at PA, and Smak should be moved in the Eclectic Prog section due to their various catalogue), they always were more (progressive) *rock* than *jazz*.
 
 
Not so bad amateur footage from the gig last night Smile

Tonight, SMAK play an open-air concert in my hometown of Belgrade, in a beautiful city park called Ušće where already played the stars like The Rolling Stones, Duran Duran, Madonna, Police, Robbie Williams... As 50 000 spectators are expected tonight, this event is already regarded here as the definitive return of progressive rock in popularity in Serbia, and it will be in a great style. I'll be there Tongue

        Try this one with both guitarists playing acoustic.

I once saw Larry Coryell and Steve Khan give a two-man show (with drum machine!) in a bar in Chicago, about 1974 or so.   They were blazing on both electric and acoustic guitars!!  I miss small jazz-rock events like that, they are getting harder & harder to find.

Energy - self titled - 1974 - Sweden
Bonfire - Bonfire Goes Bananas - 1975 - Holland

Both are straight forward instrumental JRF similar to Isotope and both
were one album bands.

some great suggestions in this thread. really enjoying the Turning Point lp's mentioned on the first page

 
here's a good obscure album for fans of the more jazzy side of fusion: Frank Cunimondo Trio - Sagittarius (1975)
 
 
side note, Frank Cunimondo also did a more straight ahead song-based jazz album with a vocalist called Lynn Marino who has hands down the greatest jazz voice I've ever heard. she never recorded anything else though
