You're really not making this easy are you?   I'm stuck between Kraan, Material and Herbie. Man how could I ever choose.... BTW Nice to see Hallucination Engine mentioned on the forums. I really love that thing! ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I'm going with my gut feeling on this and giving it to Material. A fantastic pairing of IDM, fusion, Indian music and something altogether different. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

That Jaga Jazzist album is my favorite Jazz-related album. Absolutely love the band. Progressive sounding without all the hubbub that sometimes comes with it. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

The Royal Scam is my favorite Steely Dan album and I still listen to it a lot. It's odd thinking of it as jazz/fusion, but since that's how SD is classified here, I see why it's on the poll that way. I'll give it my vote, with honorable mention to Embryo, one of the classiest (and most productive) German bands. On the Corner by M. Davis is also really nice, maybe a distant third here. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I really like the Jazz/Fusion of Miles and Herbie, but I don't have these particular albums. I do, however, have Pat Metheney's Offramp and it is great so it got my vote.

Pat Metheny, Offramp. BTW I wouldn't categorize Steely Dan, Royal Scam as Jazz Rock Fusion. Maybe a blend but for me fusion means Weather Report, Return to Forever, Brand X & Miles Bitches Brew period. ------------- My Doc Told Me I Have Doggie Head. |

Went with Metheny since I really like that lp but I also like the Kraan and Steely dan lp's. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| Steely Dan is (obviously) one of my favorite bands, and I do dig Jaga. But I voted for Material because I'm embarrassed by how few ratings/reviews they've received on this site. Seriously, folks, not much else was happening in the prog world around that time. Did nobody notice the really interesting and cool things Material was up to?!? |

I clicked on On The Corner but that one could be also Whenever I Seem To Be Far Away and (or) Royal Scam. My fav jazz-rock album ever Where Have I Know You Before by RTF is not on the list, though. |

Sextant. I also love On The Corner. ------------- I am currently digging: Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions. |

Sextant That album didn't just fuse jazz and rock, it fused genres that didn't exist yet, plus funk. Wild, ahead of its time, just a brilliant romp. Love it.

On The Corner is more properly jazz-funk, not jazz-rock. I go with Herbie.

| I really love the first half of Royal Scam, but it has to be Embryo. |

I sort of agree, except I think Crossings (perhaps my favorite album) from the year before did everything better. -------------

Jagga is great, for today. A wonderful new band. If they have a full, long, and productive 25 year life span... ...that'll be half of Herbie's and Pat's. Tough to decide. Billy was on Sextant, though. Taught and played around my home state growing up. Hometown pride! Herbie. |

I'll vote for the one that is 10 but got knocked off. is that Elegant Gypsy perchance? If yes. good, if not... well. Al Di Meola another great Italian... Nice albums there. Love Offramp, Dan... Miles for putting more brains into a funk album than anyone... Pat Metheney's one gig I saw was an absolute gem. First I'd heard of the great bassist Christian McBride. I mean ya don't get the Metheney gig for being so so and this guy... sorry, who was the guitarist again? |
