Jazz fusion specifically's something I tend to stay away from. I do have some favourites besides Miles though, namely...


Cuong Vu - It's Mostly Residual - YouTube


Freddie Hubbard - Straight Life - YouTube

In terms of the fusion of different genres Terje Rypdal has never been one to stay in a box. I'm not real sure what you would call this piece.

That is pretty cool. The wah-hammond reminds me of the wah-sax in this Brecker Brothers track Skunk Funk (around 1:25).

I apologize for going off-topic here (there's been some great fusion posted and I don't want to derail) but you NEED to get to know Don Cherry. Not only did he do that album with Coltrane but he's been an integral force on Ornette Coleman's best records and has played with the likes of Albert Ayler, Sonny Rollins and Sun Ra (I'm sure I'm forgetting some).

This album is better on paper than it is in practice. However I highly HIGHLY recommend his next two albums 'Symphony for Improvisers', and 'Orient'. They are beyond sublime.
