I am a Jazz Fusion freak. Listen to those and also you optimistically may not be sorry! These are all Jazz Fusion albums... Herbie Hancock - HeadHunters Herbie Hancock - Crossings Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage Herbie Hancock - Thrust Herbie Hancock - Man-Child Herbie Hancock - Flood Herbie Hancock - Sextant Miles Davis - Live Evil Miles Davis - Dark Magus Miles Davis - Pangaea Miles Davis - Agharta Miles Davis - Tribute To Jack Johnson Sessions Miles Davis - On The Corner Sessions Miles Davis - In A Silent Way Sessions Miles Davis - Cellar Door Sessions Miles Davis - Bitches Brew Mahavishnu Orchestra - Bird Of Fire Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame Mahavishnu Orchestra - Apocalypse Jean Luc Ponty - Enigmatic Ocean Jean Luc Ponty - Imaginary Voyage Jean Luc Ponty - Aurora Billy Cobham - Spectrum Billy Cobham - Crosswinds Billy Cobham - Total Eclipse Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius Freddie Hubbard - Red Clay Donald Byrd - Ethiopian Knights Those are my favorites, Jazz Fusion is an strong style of track...One of the finest matters approximately it's that the majority Fusion avid gamers experience participating. So you can uncover avid gamers at the albums you favor have libraries of albums themselves! Once I bought into Miles, That's how I observed Billy Cobham and Herbie Hancock. I've simply found out it myself a couple of years in the past. A lot of individuals dig Chick Corea, Return To Forever, Maceo Parker, George Duke, Wayne Shorter, Ornette Coleman, Pat Metheny and others. IF you're a piano/keyboardist please investigate out Herbie Hancock's albums. He has over eighty and his paintings is most likely strong...desire I helped!
