Neil Ardley-Kaleidoscope of Rainbows Nucleus-first two albums, moreso the second one Chick Corea-Return to Forever Those automatically spring to mind, although I'm sure there are more I can't think of at the moment. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

Wigwam's Being from 1973 can be considered as a masterpiece of this genre.

Weather Report were too inconsistent to have an album I would consider a masterpiece, and I also find that Romantic Warrior is one of my least favorite RtF albums, go figure.

Nucleus - Elastic Rock Maneige - Ni Vent... Ni Nouvelle But sadly, I only have a couple of fusion albums at the moment. I plan on investing in some Return to Forever, more Mahavishnu Orcestra (Inner Mounting Flame is great), and more Maneige. ../Progressive_rock_discography_CD.asp?cd_id=5696 - -------------

Miles, "Bitches Brew" and "Live Evil", maybe "Jack Johnson" too. Weather Report's "Mysterious Traveler". The best Return to Forever IMHO is "Hymn of the 7th Galaxy"...Bill Connors is a much ballsier guitarist than DiMeola, and Corea was wilder here as well, and didn't play synthesizer (not his specialty really).
Some other great fusion albums: Passport "Cross-Collateral" and "Looking Through", the Passport called "Doldinger Jubilee", which was live with Brian Auger, Phillip Catherine, Les McCann & Eddie Harris, totally smokin'! the 1st 2 Arti & Mistieri albums ("Tilt" & "Giro di Valzer per Domani") |

It looks like you've mixed the titles of two Mahavishnu's albums: The Inner Mounting Flame and Visions Of The Emerald Beyond Other fusion masterpieces: all Miles Davis' albums from the 70s: Bitches Brew Big Fun Pangaea Agharta plus Aura from the 80s. ------------- "Music is much like f**king, but some composers can't climax and others climax too often, leaving themselves and the listener jaded and spent."

I would never call Maneige a fusion band, even though they are quite jazzy in a "fusionesque" way. Maybe symphonic jazz rock or something like that . Anyway, I really REALLY recommend you to get Libre Service.. Self Service, which is a masterpiece - maybe even better than Ni Vent... Ni Nouvelle. And it's from 1978 ! Too bad it's quite hard to get a copy since they have never been released on CDs, I managed to get both Ni Vent... and Libre Service on vinyl, over Ebay. I would really recommend you to get it !! |

I garee besides Birds Of Fire, With Inner Mounting Flame, Return To Forever, Masques, Moroccan Roll, of course Bitches Brew, but i disagree with Spectrum, IMO it doesn't reaches the level of these other masterpieces. Anything Goes by Brad Mehldau trio is a masterpiece IMO. Chick Corea& Return To Forever - Light As A Feather is also a masterpiece. |

Maneige's Ni Vent and Libre Service, Sloche and many other Quebecios bands from the 70's are available on CD, try Greg Walker(UT) or Doug Larson(NJ). I like Ni Vent, best I think in that its more original, rustic and progressive than Libre, which is really better as a fusion album.

I don't really consider them to be true fusion either (well, not that album anyway) although they definitely have jazzy elements in their music. I can get Self Service for $16 on LaserCD.com, so I'm considering it.  -------------

| What about Hatfield and the North's "The Rotter's Club". I've always considered the later Canterbury bands like Hatfield and the North and National Health to be fusion bands. I mean, come on. This album is flawless. Even the bonus tracks are brilliant. Have you ever heard fusion that beautiful...that majestic. |

All my "usual suspects" include Hymn Of The 7th Galaxy posted above , and then would support and in fact go further than Rorro, asking for nominations of some more modern jazz rock classics. Here are a few for starters:
Hellborg Buckethead Shrieve: Octave Of The Holy Innocents (1993 - the remix issued 2002 doesn't work as well)
Conrad Schrenk's Extravaganza: Save the Robots. (1996)
McHacek: Featuring Ourselves (c1998)
Nu.fusion/nu.jazz has got one mention with Brad Mehldau already, but would include
EST's Strange Place For Snow
Bugge Wesseltoft's New Conception Of Jazz: Live
and i'm prepared to stick my neck out and say Terj Rypdal's nu.fusion tribute to Bitches Brew, Vossabrygg (released in Spring 2006) will be still spoken about in years to come.
BTW, if you were asked to come up with a CD burn of 79 to 80 minutes of classic jazzrock classic tracks, however, a tune by a named artist can only be used once, what would the list be - better, in an order to provoke a special flow of moods?

Would Ton Ton Macoute count? I know they only ever made one album, and it does have VDGG tendencies, but there are some jazz bits in there.

| i love both feels good to me and one of a kind form bill bruford...i love fusion but i feel many of the albums from the genre are quality most tracks being of equivalent quality, therefore making it difficult to pick a fav. Fusion albums are the best value buy cd or albums because they are reasonably priced and the far majority are high quality, and have multiple good tracks |

My personal favourites are;
Weather Report- Black Market (peerless album; I only have 'Heavy Weather' otherwise and I don't like that nearly as much- I must get their early work)
Soft Machine- Third
Mahavishnu Orchestra- Inner Mountain Flame, Birds Of Fire
Return To Forever- Romantic Warrior
Billy Cobham- Spectrum
Herbie Hancock- Headhunters, Thrust
Jeff Beck- Blow By Blow
Miles Davis- Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, On The Corner
Colosseum- Valentyne Suite

WELL, because COLOSSEUM features in a few lists I'm going to tell you jazz/rock and C fans to go out and get the 'COLOSSEUM LIVES" DVD of their live concerts in Cologne in 1994. It's an excellent package and well worth the money. It also features the late and great Dick Heckstall-Smith and is probably some of the last readily available footage of the great man . Do yourselves a favour! Also, early BRAND X up to and including 'Masques' is wonderful stuff. Percy Jones , what a player!
Masterpieces though? What are they, really? [A rhetorical question only]. ------------- Looking still the same after all these years... mrgd |

| Another crucial album that seems to be overlooked here is the first Tony Williams Lifetime album "Emergency", with McLaughlin and Larry Young (organ)...this fired the first shot of jazz-rock fusion (after Bitches Brew anyway)...it's repurcussions were inestimable, and even Fripp cites it as his primary inspiration forthe concept of King Crimson. |

I agree about Colosseum's live DVD- it's one of the best in my collection, as the band are truly inspired. The version of 'Valentyne Suite' is jaw dropping, as Clem Clempson plays his best ever solo, imo.

| A little known masterpiece is one called "Arc of the Testimony" by Arcana, a project of Bill Laswell, with the great drummer Tony Williams, recorded shortly before his tragic death of a heart attack. It also features Laswell on bass, Pharoah Sanders on sax, and Buckethead on guitar. It's hard to describe...something like a mix of Crimson and Coltraine, with a deep existential melancholy...truly a monumental, if overlooked gem. |

Ithink THE fusion Group is he mahavishnu Orchestra. And their albums with the first line-p are absolutely essential: Inner mounting Flame and Birds of fire. The albums with Ponty are good as well, but the ones cited are terrific! I have some concerns about Weather Report. Too jazzy for my tastes. Black Market and Heavy Weather are good. Return to Forever: from Hymn to the 7th galaxy (brilliant) to No mystery you have only winners! I'll listen to Romantic warrio one of these days, but my expectations are very high base on DiMeola's work in his Return to Forever previous albums and solo career. talking about DiMeola: someone above cited his initial 4 solo albums as masterpieces, and I must agree. Land of the Midnight Sun, Elegant gypsy, Casino and Splendido Hotel are fantastic. Jean-luc Ponty has one fantastic live album from 1979 that is a wonderful collection of his best pioeces till that day. Miles' Bitches brew is the stone that sustains the fusion genre. Absolutely essential. Esperanto's Danse Macabre is a good album too. The vocal aren't really necessary, but they don't dstroy the album like in its imediate sucessor, Last Tango. What an awful voice! Shakti: some people doesn't consider this group as fusion, and the term world music is more apropriate really. But the jazz spirit is present in all its works. I consider ALL their albums brilliant, and add the Remeber Shakti albums to the same level of excellence. Santana: his album with John MacLaughlin - Love Devtion Surrender - is totally fusion, and is a true masterpiece. Santana's trip into jazz rock is represented in his albums after his Buddy Miles album and before Amigos. Lotus is a good representant of Santana's live work in the seventies, and it has a free spirit in its versions of early classics of Latin Rock.
As I said before, jazs isn't my fav style. So this is my experience with the fusion genre till now. Thanks for your recomendations. I hope mine could be useful for any of you.
