Fusion - Any Recommendations?

i am a fusion expert. weather report is great. they are the founders--almost--however, a band from germany--PASSPORT--led by doldinger are the founders...they have over 20 albums out...seek out the title 'hand-made'. can't go wrong. they started a year before weather report.

a top 10 list:

passport: hand-made or infinity machine or cross-collateral (3 classics of their 20 plus albums)

weather report: sweetnighter or i sing the body electric (out there)

miles davis: in a silent way (it qualifies);honorable mention-hall of fame

friendship: that is the album & group name--great!--a top line-up together for this one album--has ernie watts on sax, played with the stones, it's a winner.

the section: fork it over: a rare fusion album by the band that backs jackson brown & james taylor...it's great (they put out two studio albums and one live one; fork it over is the best of the bunch)

too much thinking...enjoy...brad

best italian fusion group--you are right-they have their own flavor--check out 'Goblin'
