There are plenty of other great albums and great artists, but this is a good place to start. I hope you aren't wanting any 80's stuff, because in general, I abhor jazz fusion from the 80's... if you are wanting anything from the 80's, go to Anteater, the guy is crazy about that crap.  |
Thanks. Am checking out one of the Herbie Hancock albums (specifically Head Hunters) right now. There's not any particular decade Im interested in, just any good artists that were important/popular in the genre. I have a bunch of early Chicago albums labeled 'jazz fusion' that I've always really liked but I've never explored the genre past that. Not sure if early Chicago (the first 2-3 albums) is even considered a good example of fusion but it's something I've always wanted to know more of & since you mentioned it I thought I'd ask! Not a big fan of any 80s music in general so I'd probably be more interested in the earlier stuff you recommended
