Don't know if I'd say any album-- some of his 80s/90s stuff is Adult Contempo trash. |

Not one Tribal Tech album or Wayne Krantz record (among others)?
Very strange 'fusion' lists. |

Lest I be accused of hypocrisy:
Aka Moon - Rebirth Gregg Bendian's Interzone - Requiem for Jack Kirby Herbie Hancock - CrossingsLast Exit - Iron Path Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame* Pekka Pohjola - Harakka Bialoipokku Soft Machine - Fourth Steely Dan - The Royal Scam Todd Sickafoose Group - Tiny Resistors Weather Report - I Sing The Body Electric *...but it has got to be the version with the 15-minute live version of Noonward Race tacked on. Easily my favourite Mahvishnu track.

Yeah, I should have said "Any 70s albums"... I could say that about 99% of my favorite bands. Same with movies; they just went downhill and never recovered.

1) The United Jazz and Rock Ensemble - Teamwork 2) Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame 3) Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior 4) Weather Report - Black Market 5) Oregon - Winter Light 6) Gong - Shamal 7) Brand X - Unorthodox Behavior 8) Release Music Orchestra - Garuda 9) Bruford - Feels Good to Me 10) Terje Rypdal - Odyssey the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble was in my opinion the best jazz rock/fusion band ever, even better than the 3 so-called "big ones" of that genre, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever and Weather Report

I have some doubts. Could Camel be considered a Jazz Rock band in a few moments? I'm thinking in the Mel Collins' era.

I think that's stretching it for Camel.They aren't even canterbury except for in a few places. I don't even consider Caravan to be jazz rock/fusion. A band like Soft Machine though would be both Canterbury and jazz rock.

This is not surprising. Their albums were recorded on their own label "Mood Records". The albums of this label were until 2014 exclusively distributed by the German shop chain Zweitausendeins (meaning 2001) that started with a shop in Frankfurt and in their heydays had shops in fourteen German cities (among them Berlin and Cologne, where I still live). You could mail-order from this shop chain, but you had to know about it at first of course, and they were pretty much an insider tip. So the band is very little known and their albums are very hard to get. The musicians of the band are however top tier (Wolfgang Dauner on keyboards, Volker Kriegel on guitar, Eberhard Weber electric and acoustic bass (later replaced by Dave King), Jon Hiseman on drums, Barbara Thompson on saxes and flutes, Charlie Mariano on saxes, flute and nagaswaram, Ian Carr on trumpet, Albert Mangelsdorff on trombone, Ack van Rooyen on trumpet and flugelhorn and from their third album on Kenny Wheeler on flugelhorn. What a line-up!

This band has Colosseum links, if only by drummer Jon Hiseman and his wife Barbara Thompson, but other jazz stars went through the band as well (Ian Carr, Kenny Wheeler, Charlie Mariano, Wolfgang Dauner etc...) The weakest point IMHO is their "generic" name, but it didn't stop them to be relatively big on the European continent
