Jazz Rock-Fusion not in PA

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:

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.

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.

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).

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

Stone Flute!  Viva Wounded Bird!

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?

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:
