Enough talk of lyrics. Which Jazz Rock/Fusion or Fusion inspired albums do you feel are essential? And I said essential, not favorites.

All of them! Great subgenre filled with too many to think of. The obvious JF101 would be Mahavishnu Orch, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock. Go to the top 250 prog album list and then filter for jazz fusion. I haven t heard every album but there are zero that i have that i don t like (maybe half of them)

Are you starting from scratch? The top JR/F albums here aren't a terrible place to start. (Unfortunately, due to the quirks of how we do things, Kind of Blue is there and while fantastic is obviously not jazz rock or fusion).
Personally, love Miles fusion stuff (particularly In a Silent Way and Bitches' Brew), first two from Weather Report (still like their other ones), Herbie's Mwandishi trilogy (Mwandishi, Sextant, Crossings). Others that should be checked out are Mahavishnu (Inner Mounting Flame, Birds of Fire, and maybe some later ones) and Return to Forever (Hymn of the 7th Galaxy and Romantic Warrior). Love Jaco's solo album. Love post-Third Soft Machine. Favorite modern act is One Shot. Edited by Padraic - September 17 2014 at 10:18 |

Well you've probably already got enough to get started. Saperlipopette's list in particular should keep you occupied.

Wow, I haven't looked at that in a long time. That list of albums has changed, though some have managed to stay in the top spots since I joined this site. Hiromi's "Time Control" is considered the best jazz-fusion album on this site. Interesting. |

That is a bit funny. I really do enjoy that album, but, yeah. |

I do too. I think it's one of the best modern jazz-rock albums, but I'd put plenty of 70s jazz-rock albums above it in an all-time list. |

My superlong list is slightly flawed as it's based on a 60's and a 70-75 jazz list I've made elsewhere and just removed all the non-fusion releases. 69-75 are my favorite jazzrock years but I obviously still dig plenty of jazzrock made after.

Anything by Passport from the seventies.
The first three If albums. The Dedalus debut. The classic Colosseum period, their first four albums. |
