My gut instinct immediately tells me my favorite is PAT METHENY. Although his music can be woolly at times, he has recorded more albums I love than any other artist you mention.

This isn't meant to diminish the importance of Weather Report, Herbie Hancock etc. And if you've ever bumped into any of my reviews, you'll know that I particularly enjoy Bill Bruford's Earthworks...

But Pat has given me so much pleasure... Moreover, he's the greatest INSTRUMENTAL PROG composer / soloist of the last twenty years or so!

Where did you pick up on that false idea, jazz fusion (and labelled jazz fusion) had been around since at least before 1965 e.g. Joe Harriott & John Mayers Double Quintet's Indo-jazz fusion and one of Larry Coryell's early band Free Spirits

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Out-Sight-Sound-Free-Spirits/dp/B000FVGLI4/ref=cm_cr-mr-title

Plenty more information about the chronology and development of jazz fusion:

All musicians listed are simply gods....... and the stuff is superb. I'd also add Niacin; but overall is a good and essential list.

I know Miles Davies is THE jazz-man and Return to Forever made some remarkable stuff; I also love Weather Report and a couple of Holdsworth's solo efforts. Yeah, I really like jazz fusion!

But I definately stay, all the time, with the marvelous Mahavishnu Orchestra, leading the superb John McLaughlin and the impressive Billy Cobham. Even lovin' a lot of other fusion-oriented stuff, I didn't think twice before voting for Mahavishnu. My favourite jazz-fusion band. Big%20smile

Mahavishnu wins! That is, unless we get some more votes...

I'm torn between Return To Forever and Allan Holdsworth.

It's gotta be Jaco (Bassist's vote) but where's Dominique Dipiazza?

Keep an eye on hadrien feraud (awesome)
