CAB with Auger, Brunnel, MacAlpine and Chambers.. CAB 2 especially good. Niacin also excellent, 'Organik' one of the best releases of 2005. Some great Japanese bands like Naikaku doing rock-fusion as well.

Just borrowed some John Abercrombie and Jonas Hellborg albums from the library. Haven't listened to either yet, but from what I've read, they should be right up my alley. Smile

Jonas Hellborg has been one of the major jazz rock fusion musicians of the last 15 years - check out his PA entry. Recommend Jonas Hellborg Group e (doing Niacin-type fusion before Niacin ever formed, and Johansson brothers in mighty good form); Hellborg/Buckethead/Shrieve: Octave Of the Holy Innocents, (but not the remix released 2003), and anything by Hellborg and Shawn Lane (what ~6 live and studio albums, ranging from jazz rock to world fusion?). Also an excellent collaboration by Jens Johansson and Hellborg on Ginger Baker's late 80's Unseen Rain recording.
The best eclectic music on the Web,8-11pm BST/GMT THURS.

He played with Abercrombie, that's all I know.



Then I'm recommending you

Time%20Being
Time Being by Palle Danielsson, Peter Erskine, and John (Jazz) Taylor (Audio CD - 2000) - Original recording reissued

and also

You%20Never%20Know
You Never Know by Peter Erskine (Audio CD - 1994)

I can't tell you about quality as I'm no connoisseur here, but I like them a lot and I know we share taste. I like the compositions, the piano playing, and of course there's Erskine at the drums.

Also recently I've been going through and through the Marius Poppy discography Approve
 
Excellent jazz drummer one of my favorite I love his delicate touch to the cymbals.!!
I love his work with weather Report and of course Abercrombie which I think I have All of them awesome stuff. I aso like his work with Mark Johnson, and so many others musicians there are too many!!
his solo  work are as well excellent and essential  to any fan of the good jazz drumming.Clap

Check out the following  - the first eight or so that come to mind:
Garaj Mahal, Fareeq Hague Group, Wayne Krantz, Project Z, Hectic Watermelon (USA) 
Panzerballett, Electric Outlet , Susan Weinert (Germany)
Alex Machacek, Conrad Schrenk (Austria)
 
And then there is the newer sub-genre of nu-fusion/nu jazz, e.g. Polar Bear, Acoustic Ladyland, EST, Bugge Wesseltoft, Bad Plus, Jaga jazzist etc.
 
 
Even the more established fusion artists move one. There is an excellent new cutting edge fusion album by guitar master David Torn,  Prezens released by ECM REcords.
 
Just sticking with 70's bands and recordings, would imply folks are only just scratching a rather crusty surface of the jazz rock fusion genre.
I don't yet know much about this genre but I can also recommend Hectic Watermelon and Prezens. I can also recommend a band from my home county of Surrey called Sphere³ (that's supposed to be Sphere cubed btw). Check them out at http://www.sphere3.co.uk/.

Not to forget Karcius, recently ordered the album Kaleidoscope and it's on the way, I reckon.

have you ever checked out Chick Corea Elektrik Band?


Indeed, I find it a very good work and one of the main fusion albums Corea has put.
The Mad Hatter is excellent too, "Dear Alice" is one of my favorite splendid jazz compositions ever.

I checked out mostly everything Chick Corea made (though it's tricky to say everything, God knows what, where, with who and how much these jazzists play Cool), the Elektrik Taste is slightly off-garde at something beyond improvisation and music mood. Some things work, some don't.

Yeah right... but you wouldn't go see them live if they came to play at 100 km from your home and you had to make some sacrifices. Halal fan! Wink


If this is about Garana, I said I'd like to stay in a granny's house, as a guest, for 100 bucks the night, than to sleep with the flies, as to see Garbarek .Wink

The Mad Hatter is a very nice blend of jazz with contemporary classical (academic), last time I heard. I even dare say it's sole existence is reason enough to grant Chick Corea a place here (not to forget Leprechaun)

someone mentioned a lot of lists people put feature predominately 70's recordings. now, it's true the 70's were a thriving time for the genre, i think that fusion has gained more momentum in recent years, especially these days. i cant say im a fan of much fusion in the 80s - about 1992, except CCEB, Metheny, Jaco, etc...
 
o and i found out the steve jenkins album i mentioned earlier can actually be bought on iTunes for really cheap.

I like a lot of jazz/fusion. Right now I'm listening to:




I recommend a Polish fusion band LABORATORIUM

And I concur.
Corea played too few fusion albums to have a jazz position here. My "two cents", but I reckon Corea composed fusion only in albums like Leprechaun, Friends, The Mad Hatter, perhaps Tap Dance (Touchstone?)

David Sancious very much has his own sound but IMO this album is more of a cross between Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return to Forever (with a dash of Emerson Lake & Palmer added for good measure).
 
P.S. listen for some great drumming by the best drummer you've never heard of Ernest "Boom" Carter.
