I seem to love the really slow tempo. Relaxing, but still jazzy and unique.

Here's an example. Nothing chaotic, but still an adventure.

Nucleus - Lullaby For a Lonely Child

I like that musical form as well!

This is one of my favorites (sorry, I miss the Youtube "insert video" tab!)

Brand X "Black Moon" from "Masques"

Yeah, I noticed I love this form as well. After just thinking prog/fusion was "hit or miss", I started self-examining and noticed I probably enjoy slower tempo at this point in my life, rather than the very fast chaotic stuff (I have enough chaos in my life!). I also prefer a woman on vocals, especially with prog.

Do you know why the video feature was removed?

Maracas Beach by Grover Washington Jr.

Superb slow jazz fusion jam if you ask me.

Lonnie Liston Smith is someone I discovered fairly recently. I recommend anyone "Meditations"

Nothing like starting a song with a pulsating electric piano!
