Fusion - Any Recommendations?


I really love this Italian 70's progressive group called AREA that are more like avant-garde fusion than anything else. Who knows a little about fusion and can recommend some classic must-haves?

I'll second Billy Cobham - all of his
Also some of my favorites:
- Jan Hammer - "First Seven Days"
- Brand X (Their first, all of them)
- Jack Lancaster/Robin Lumley - "Marscape"
- Steve Kahn - "Casa Loco"
- Tunnels (descended from Brand X) - "Painted Rock", "Progressivity"
- Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior
- Stanley Clark - "Stanley Clark", "If this Bass Could Talk"
here's some more gems that haven't been mentioned (I don't think):

- "Electromagnets" self titles release - the group includes Eric Johnson on guitar
- Niacin - "Time Crunch" amazing Hammond B3 fusion.
- Kraan - "Live" this is a German group
- Jean Luc Ponty - "Aurora" and "Enigmatic Ocean"
