I could have sworn that a jazz fest was in the air.  Embarrassed  But I guess it's hard to feel jazzy without a Clinton in the White House! I'll just have see what Man With Hat is playing while I spin a few hours worth of some Weather Report.

I'll follow what José did and share three Polish fusion albums that you might like. Smile





Drifting Feather is an extremely innovative album by the band Paradox, which fuses elements of fusion, Zappa, flamenco, and even some 20th-century classical music. The embedded video doesn't seem to work, so I'll attach it to the text.

May as well follow suit with José and Tymon and post some homegrown fusion. I already listed a few of these earlier, but they're great, so why not look at them again? My personal favourites are in bold. Hailing from Canada:

Agharta - Agharta (1980) 
The Dale Jacobs Group - Live At Puccini's (1971)
Dale Jacobs - Cobra (1978)
Horn - On The People's Side (1972)
Maneige - Maneige (1975)
Maneige - Les Porches (1975)
Maneige - Ni Vent...Ni Nouvelle (1977)
Maneige - Libre Service (1978)
Sloche - J'Un Oeil (1975)
Sloche - Stadaconé (1976)
Solstice - Mirage (1978)
Solstice - Espresso (1981)
Syncope - Syncope (1980)
Toubabou - Attente (1975)

And not so much fusion as it is pure contemporary jazz, but:

Vancouver Ensemble Of Jazz Improvisation ‎– VEJI (1981)

And I guess there's also Lighthouse, too, but I never really considered them to be relevant to PA.
