Most of these artists shouldn't be in the archives either, exept Dave Pike Set (five albums, all brilliant and fusion) and Jeremy Steig (many albums, most of them fusion). But around 1970 everybody was into it. Mmany of those who just released on of two jazzrock-albums before they returned to their regular jazz or retired, did it better than many who made a career out of it. Here's twentyfour I could think of today. All worth checking out:

I´d wish you would have made this a multiple vote poll, because there´s probably not going to be that many who´s familiar with these artists. So the ones in the know, like myself could highlight more than one.
Oh well - we can still post our love for these titles regardless I voted other, because I have fallen head over heals for this beauty: I also have Stone Flute, Electric Byrd and Temple of Birth which are all faves of mine. This one is also one of my recent sonic lovers: Great poll Saperlipoppette! Hhhhmm - seems I´m having problems posting pictures, but the one I voted for was Norman Connor´s Dance of Magic, and the other that I mentioned was Sun Ra´s Lanquidity.

Strange. You're thank you landed on top of my reply. I've never thought of that Connors one as fusion, isn't it spiritual free jazz in similar to Pharoah Sanders? And Lanquidity, I simply forgot about. I'll find a way to include it. |

Ok, I totally missed the Morricone one before, and you´re quite right about it being fusion. Great album with that special pomodoro-Italian-spicing - meets the grandioseness of one the best conductors of soundtrack music ever.

I guess you could call it spiritual free jazz, but I do feel a certain element of earthiness to the album that I don´t get from say Karma. The bass work and drumming suggests fusion to me, but then again I am a scarred and jello-like individual with no basis whatsoever to found my renderings about music on, other than my ears. I don´t read music either, but I play the drums and tablas. I do love Pharaoh though. |

^I'm totally clueless. I've never played any instrument. Can't read notes... nothing
My checklist if something is jazz fusion. Does it have: Electric Guitar, Organ, rock groove, atleast one very long track and do all bandmembers sport weird hair + facial hair and clothing. I actually listened to that Connors-album while making the poll. Not the whole thing, but to check. Edited by Saperlipopette! - October 26 2011 at 15:40 |

Quite a few albums I love here, and many that I haven't heard.
Janko Nilovic's Rythmes Contemporaine (love to hear a lot more similar music) as well as Herbie Mann's Stone Flute became all time favourites of mine. I also love the Morricone and Mal Waldron (chose that to listen to while I type - awesome album!!!), and Dave Pike Set (that was so great), and Donald Byrds' Electric Byrd I am such a fanboy of, and really like Languidity. While Bobby Hutcherson's Cirrus is one of my favourite albums, I don't have his San Francisco. Not on the list, I would say Bob James' One (and Buster Williams' Pinnacle should at least be in Related, I think). though more jazz). |

Just a music fan passing through trying to fill some void. Various music I am into now: a youtube playlist

They've both could have been included if I had remembered them. Many of the albums in the poll are recent finds or albums I've been listening lately. San Francisco (its really Bobby Hutcherson and Harold Land) is essential listening. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. |

None of the albums you have listed i have heard, but there are two artists that you list that i have other things by that i regard highly-Joachim Kuhn and Jasper van't Hof-they are both exemplary artists

I think they could both be right up your alley. Btw: Dave Pike Set released five studioalbums while the american vibraphonist lived in Europe in the late 60's early 70's. Infra Red, Four Reasons, Noisy Silence - Gentle Noise, Album 1971 are all highly reccomended. Released on MPS with a killer lineup: Dave Pike: Vibraphone Volker Kriegel: Guitar, Sitar Hans Rettenbacher: Bass, Cello Peter Baumeister: Drums, Percussion |

Tell me more about
It appears to be out of print, but I used to have a live tape of one of his shows where there was there was a heavy synth presence and I have no idea what album was out in conjunction with that tour. I've picked up a couple of albums of his so far, but they're just basic modern jazz.

So....... Are we voting for albums we feel should be booted out of PA? or albums that we like/feel should remain in PA?
**EDIT** These albums/artists are not in PA, yes? Edited by darkshade - October 26 2011 at 19:39 |

None of these are in PA . Vote for a favorite if you got one, but I made the to guide anyone interested to albums that have a similar approach to jazz as the ones in the Jazz Rock-Fusion section here. Because there were made thousands of them all over the world in the 70's. So I a made poll out of 24 of the ones I like. As I wrote in the opening post, to my knowledge only two (now three) of these has a career with more than one or two fusion albums. I might take the time and suggest them for addition later, but its not what this poll is about. Actually the poll is just used to write a bunch of names and albums for people to check out. Its easier to relate to than a long list in a post. Btw... I edited out Milt Jackson's Sunflower and included Solar Plexus Voices instead. After relistening to the former, I don't think is a kind of fusion with a relation to progressive rock. Lovely album, though. The latter is a mix between early Return to Forever and Magma at its most uplifting. All their albums are similar to RTF. Have a listen to this: |

Bob James opening track is a masterpiece. I'll see if I can squeeze him in as well. "Other" is an essential part of the poll.: I remember Pinnacle as a nice album, but not nearly as engaging as the rest of the Mwandishi-related treasures. Filed and forgotten along with Eddie Henderson Sunburst and Julian Priester Polarization if you know what I mean. I know you're not saying anything about quality, but do you consider it to be much better than I remember it? I've got it digitally, should I give it another go? |
