Well its not a genre carved in stone so something like this:

Miles Davis (68-75)

Mwadishi Sextet (Herbie Hancock)... just everything Mawadishi-related although that's cheating

Terje Rypdal (70-75)

Soft Machine

Jeremy Steig

Embryo

Placebo

Dave Pike Set

Michael Naura

Björn J:son Lindh

+Nucleus... there's so many I love for a short period of time... like Weather Report and Return to Forever's two first & tons of one "one or two jazz fusion album-wonders"

I have the Michael Naura Quartet's album Call, which is pretty cool, but that's all I know. What else should I be checking out?

Soldato of the Pan Head Mafia. We'll make you an offer you can't listen to.

and I really like Perigeo as well - almost everything they ever recorded. They're never mentioned but deserve to be.

I think their first four are all top drawer. But have not explored the later stuff.

I guess I forgot that there was more studio albums than their first four (+ those later archival live albums... which are great)
