There's so much wild sh*t out there that I  collected back in the seventies. I'm not sure if this one has ever been released on CD by Blue Note.

Turning Point! Only two LPs on the UK Gull label, Creatures of the Night and Silent Promise, both great, tho SP is my favorite. Copies of both were floating around in US shops in mid-80s as cut-outs, dirt-cheap. Put together by two ex-members of Isotope.

Human, I just listened to `Silent Promise' a few hours ago, I love it so much!!

Sadly, at the time I bought the LP of it, I really didn't know much about the band, so I left their other album behind. Of course, I've never come across it again.

Terrific band, I even found a touch of Catnerbury on that second one! Plus, the cover is wonderful! I really treasure that album!

Definitely more to the prog side of the prog-fusion sound but I can't recommend the first Shadowfax album "Watercourse Way" (1976) highly enough.  Only one song has vocals and overall I think of them as a Mahavishnu/Gryphon/Larks Tongues hybrid.  Oddly enough, they drastically changed direction and became well known in the 80's for being one of the first new age bands on the Wyndham Hill label.  I finally got 'Watercourse Way' on CD from amazon a few months ago.

Those are Caldera's third and fourth/final albums. The first is Caldera (1976, reissued on CD in 2004) and the second is Sky Islands (1977).

Caldera's guitarist Jorge Strunz became one-half of Strunz & Farah. S&F's very first (and best) album Frontera, released in 1984, features Caldera alums (keyboardist) Eduardo del Barrio and (flautist) Steve Tavaglione. Really good album!

EDIT: Frontera is the first album as "Strunz & Farah" but the duo recorded an earlier album, Mosaico, under their full names "Jorge Strunz & Ardeshir Farah" (I've not heard that one).

There are some 70's Fusion gems from my native Spain which are not even in PA, someday I should take the time to put their stuff on YouTube (hoping nobody will remove them by author's issues) and propose them for PA addition.

One of them is Orquestra Mirasol, they went through different phases but their finest material is top notch 70's Fusion, check out these tracks for example

Doug, that Dedalus one you mention, that's the one with the eyeballs on the front, right?! If so, I bought a vinyl reissue of it a year or so back, and I remember loving it, but I've really not given it many spins yet. Really unappreciated so far by me, but you've encouraged me to dig it out again!

The thing I love about good fusion is that it was one of the only forms of music that
made good use of 128th notes.

I just recently acquired a Nova LP - 'Vimana' - it's from 1976, and features some guys from RPI band Osanna, along with Percy Jones (bass) and Narada Michael Walden (drums).  Phil Collins and various guests also appear.  Easily as good as Brand X.

Back Door!

There were three albums from this great English trio, “Back Door,” “8th Street Nites” and “Another Fine Mess.” The instrumentation was bass, sax/flute, and drums, much like Morphine, but was jazz/rock/blues fusion. The bassist, Colin Hodgkinson, has a very distinctive style using full chording. They expanded their sound a bit on the 3rd album, adding keyboards and guitar on some tracks. The drummer was Tony Hicks, not to be confused with the guy from the Hollies. ELP fans will know them from Bullfrog on Works 2, where Hodgkinson and Ron Aspery (the sax/flute player) share the writing credit with Carl Palmer, though they play uncredited on it.

After Back Door, Colin joined Jan Hammer's late '70s rock group Hammer. Colin didn't play bass on the first album, Black Sheep (frequent Hammer collaborator Fernando Saunders played bass), but he did sing lead and background vocals on several songs. On the second album, the eponymous Hammer, Colin became the bassist proper but lead vocal duties were assumed by future Styx man, Glenn Burtnick.

Phillip Catherine – “Guitars”

Focus – “Focus con Proby”. Yes, I know that’s the one Focus album above all others that fans love to hate. It’s best if you don’t think of it as a Focus album but just a get-together of talented musicians. Underrated, IMO, and the aforementioned Phillip Catherine plays on it and brought one of his songs from “Guitars” with him, “Sneezing Bull.” The version here is very high-energy and really benefits from the addition of Thijs’s flute, to say nothing of Steve Smith's drumming.

Don’t forget PC’s two duet albums with Larry Coryell, “Twin House” and “Splendid.”

Back Door has 5 albums, plus a semi-compilation with some re-worked, also new tunes (listed on PA).
Their bass player Colin Hodgkinson has 2 excellent solo albums (not listed).
A live recording by Pete York, Brian Auger and Hodgkinson "Steaming" (INAK Records, Germany) is a pure joy to hear!
Hodgkinson has a legendary reputation about the way he plays his Fender bass, notably his approach to playing of chords.

Jeff Berlin with Vox Humana (2 albums) has some fine moments,
equally Tony Lavitz (keys) of Dixie Dregs had a number of solo works (out of print) that are worthy of attention. 

Wilding & Bonus "Pleasure Signals"(?) backed by Brand X is reasonably nice.

Great thread....CENTIPEDE!  Keith Tippett and a proggy jazz big band.  That's music played for music's sake....wish I still had a copy of Septober.  Lost it and a pile of others on a move long ago.
 
Keeping in that same vein....Phil Miller's In Cahoots stuff.  Fantastic 80s fusion.
 
I also just picked up a copy of Gary Burton's Tong Funeral and Amalgam on a 2for1 CD.....been on my player for the past few days.  Highly recommended.  Can't beat Carla Bley's compositions.....speaking of which, that band Bley had with Jack Bruce in the mid-70s....more great fusion.  Better stop here.....not very "lost" stuff per se, but some stuff I've been listening to recently.

One that's in PA's files that I think need more attention are the Lenny White albums of 1976, 1977 and 1978, Venusian Summer, Big City, and The Adventures of the Astral Pirates.

Also, taking it to the edges of jazz fusion are the extraordinary albums and especially live performances by George Clinton's Parliament and its myriad side projects and offshoots. Amazing creativity!

Yeah, those are killer. Jan Hammer's on Big City, too, laying down some MiniMoog goodness in "Enchanted Pool Suite." Sancious is on a few tracks on Venusian Summer (which also sports one of the best album covers ever).

Oh yes, this is a superb record.

 I have this LP but with a different cover ! 
So do I !! With a red Ferrari on the cover .
How about George Duke's 'The Aura Will Prevail' album ?? Lost classic if there ever was one....

Narada Michael Walden – “Garden of Love Light”.  (1976) Definitely a lost classic, as I believe it was deleted very quickly by Atlantic.  It was reissued on CD by Wounded Bird in 2001.  Musicians include Ray Gomez, Will Lee, David Sancious, Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana.  If you liked his work in the 2nd Mahavishnu Orchestra, or on Nova’s Vimana or Jeff Beck’s Wired, or David Sancious’s solo work, you’ll like this.

 

A pity he never did another one like this.

Anyone with but a mere taste for 1970s fusion/jazz rock should definitely take note of the following albums:

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

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.

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.

Tonight, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smak" rel="nofollow - SMAK play an open-air concert in my hometown of Belgrade, in a beautiful city park called http://static.panoramio.com/photos/large/31227055.jpg" rel="nofollow - 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

^^^ I was just getting into JRF in '74. 
It would have been great to see Coryell at a small gig like that.
