I would add the magnificent sound of guitar of Norwegian master: TERJE RYPDAL.
Try ODYSSEY or WhENEVER I SEEM TO BE FAR AWAY or IF MOUNTAINS COULD SING...............cosmic jazz for me!

Excellent, lots of dynamics jam sessions and modern jazz pieces. Mike's improvisational approach is as good as always has been; recommended also for fans of scatting. Edited by Chus - May 02 2007 at 16:45 |

I love this topic !!! because i can get to see all album cover of all my fav fusion albums and I can see that you guys have the same great taste as me!!! i want to comment on all of them.!!!
I just did buy this album whao...... I haven't listen to it for years since the late 80's when I had it on vinil. Also it was not available in the USA on cd intil recent years if I am not mistaken and I forgot all about it for a while I just went to Virgil to pick up the last Porcupine Tree album ( becauss of what I heard last time I saw them Live I Know it is brilliant work in my opinon much better album than the last album), so, I went the Jazz section at virgin and I saw this album. It brought a great smiles to my face because of all the great memories.I hadlistening to fusion classic album and chick's RTFstuff. I picked up and took home with a refreshing feeling. This is the magic about music. Brilliant Work. Edited by darksideof - May 03 2007 at 00:02 |

Nyugen Le is superb - first heard him on Tales From Viet Nam and its wonderful fusion of Vietnamese folk and jaz zrock (sometimes ala Allan Holdsworth). 3 Trios is most excellent. Also recommend his Hendrix tribute Purple.
BTW anybody heard the latest Hiromi album, I understand David Fuze Fuiczynski guests on guitar, and in my books he can do no wrong?

Often wrongfully (IMO) aligned with "smooth-jazz" back in their hey day (early to mid 90s) I always thought that the Rippingtons were the next evolution of fusion. They've mellowed a bit since then and have turned slightly more toward a latin sound but still a very good listen. IMO their best release from back in the day with the classic line-up:

Graham Collier Music - Portraits (1972)
Graham Collier (bass); Dick Pearce (flugelhorn); Peter Hurt (alto sax); Ed Speight (guitar); Geoff Castle (piano); John Webb (drums). Recorded at RG jones Studios, Wimbledon, London, England on November 16 & 17, 1972. ''Issued in 1973 after a pair of recording dates in late 1972, Portraits sees Collier revisiting his notion explored on Mosaics -- the working out of longer forms. Three selections make up the album, the two-part "And Now For Something Completely Different," and the nearly 11-minute title track. The ensemble on Collier's Portraits contains only drummer John Webb, and pianist Geoff Castle from Collier's previous few outings, and includes only one saxophonist, Pete Hurt. Dick Pearce is in the brass chair, and Ed Speight is added on guitar. Musically, the exotica present on Mosaics has gone by the wayside in place of a more solidly modal attack that gives play to rock thematics in terms not only of texture, but of architecture. Collier paid close attention to Miles Davis' In A Silent Way, and took from it its sense of propulsive dynamics, and its repetition, while opening up the modes to a more swinging jazz vocabulary. On the suite, riffs take the place of front line melodies, and the modes that come from them are spun out of a clipped series of notes that wind around the rhythm section in a nearly hypnotic way. "Portraits I" is also Milesian, but more in the sense of the quintet's longer reaching palette of modal interstition and elocution. A restrained palette is employed as a way of exploiting all of its chromatic elements, and then inverting them in on themselves. Language between the soloists is overlapping and entwined, rather than oppositional. Time signatures do not vary, but the series of tension placed on one note over another seems to vary, according to arbitrary tonal considerations. This is a more laid-back, yet more challenging listen than any previous Collier outing, but it also dates as one of the best.'' ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide Edited by Man Erg - May 03 2007 at 09:02 |

Yellowjackets were also one of those bands mislabeled as smooth, even if they were not as experimental as early jazz-rock was (add a funkier sound, without sounding fusak). Their later albums (Dreamland, for example) did also have some latin jazz inflections, last time I heard it (then again it was long ago, so not sure in which measure the latin jazz was there).
Another one of these smooth jazz albums which have at least one or two jazz-rock gems
The title track is a full-fledge JR/F (prog) track

There wasa sort of reunion album from Yellowjackets 3 or so years ago. I agree twith Chus, that there wasa perception of Yellowjackets and the Rippingtons being smooth jazz - but that was the danger when reviewers knew each band was signed to the home of smooth/fuzac GRP Records. And I would say a couple of Rippington albums were bland and I can't listen to them nowadays. And I have a love hate relationship with some of that period Yellowjackets' releases - love for instance the live album with Michael Franks (something of an acquire taste in jazz vocalists) . Seeing Haslip with Holdsworth on Sunday - if the opportunity arise I'll ask him whether there will be another Yellowjackets recording.

A classic, and possibly his best.
Saw him live once, BTW -- terrific!
Great stuff -- like all JB albums from Blow by Blow on.
I enjoy all forms of jazz, BTW -- that's right Dick, even "smooth" jazz (which I find cheerful).

I missed that line in Ian Drury's Reasons To Be Cheerful Part 3 - must have been in parts 1 or 2? But then Ian was a Ornette Coleman freak - but wasn't adverse at ripping off the bassline from a Coleman tune, for Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick.
Tune in next week for tangential rhubarb!!! (Cue music)
