Hey cstack3: Fire Merchants uh?  Yes, they are in my longer list. I have a special affinity for the 2nd disc Landlords of Atlantis because Audiophile Imports sent me a John Goodsall autographed copy of it when I bought it many years ago. But the 1st Fire Merchants is BOMBASTIC.
Chester Thompson is on the drums there and his sound is incredible!
HAMSTEDAM is absolutely Awesome!
 
I LIKE YOUR TASTES!

No list is complete without the first two Nucleus albums imo

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer

Hey thanks!  This was a great thread, I enjoyed reading everyone's thoughts & opinions!  

I'm lucky to live in a "jazz-rock fusion" friendly city, Chicago always has had the best acts blowing through & plenty of local talent!  For sure, check out Kick the Cat, and Fareed Haque Group should be having some new material out soon!  

Rock on, Deafmoon!!

I have a different list now as for a while I've been deeply exploring Mwandishi related works, and various Miles Davis/ Hancock related stuff.  I'd for gotten about one of my faves before, too, Donald Byrd's Electric Byrd (1970).

Alphabetically listed by surname:

Donald Byrd - Electric Byrd (this jazz great jumped on the Bitches Brew bandwagon with this in 1970; the first track is particularly remarkable, wonderful, and should greatly appeal to those into Bitches Brew).

Norman Connors - Dark of Light (great Mwandishi spin-off)

Miles Davis - Big Fun (superb album, and doesn't need much introduction)

Herbie Hancock - Crossings (a true masterpiece, and essential for any well-rounded collection)

Eddie Henderson - Realization (his first two albums are great, but I like what I know of his first six Fusion albums -- Sunburst and Heritage are both very good.  The anthology edition with his first two albums is very good -- includes the, imo, essential Realization and Inside Out)

Bennie Maupin - The Jewel in the Lotus (his first two are really good, but I haven't explored further yet)

Julian Priester - Love, Love (love, love it)

Sun Ra - Languidity (not my favourite of his, I like his earlier 70s one more, but it is a fine album, and a good one for Fusion fans)
Buster Williams - Pinnacle (another great Mwandishi-styled album)

Larry Young - Lawrence of Newark (terrific album)

^ I think you've been going through my record collection, psychedelic jazz, nothing like it. You might like Terje Rypdal's Descendre, check my review.

My path certainly has been influenced by recommendations/reviews of yours.  And thanks for the recommendation. :)  The more psych jazz I can discover, the better!  It's  a particular favourite milieu of mine at this time, and has helped to revivify my musical interest which had started to wane.
