I see a lot already on that collage
Located two along and three down is Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger And The Trinity album Open.
Jazz Fusion?

Hi @frenchrooster, is this your own collage / list, or is it from somewhere else? Also, there are 60 shown!
Although the image is not very clear, I can still recognise many of the cover designs. Personally, I wouldn’t put some of those in that genre, however there is plenty of great music in the selection.

Hi guys, it’s not my list , just to have a picture for the thread.
I will very soon post mine.
I agree , Julie Driscoll is not fusion. Brian Auger is between rock and rock/ jazz. I love the Oblivion express.

Byrd’s ‘Blackjack’ is a straight-ahead jazz album, not jazz fusion. Good album though !

Yes I agree. Some are should not figure, as the Live George Benson, Donald Fagen…
It’s a collage to give a picture to the thread. Not mine.
See mine after.

Ha, no thank you, I am terrible at these kind of lists, except when they are non-emotional, like keeping count of the collection. Thanks for sharing yours though, I will definitely have a good look!

You recently wrote that Red Clay is your favourite. Maybe 10 favourite which come to your mind, without thinking ?
Weather Report ought to be figured in there somewhere, can’t see any tho’.

That’s 33. I’m sure there are others, but like I said, these are the first which came to mind. You may argue whether they’re all jazz-rock fusion, but I was thinking about adding some Ornette Coleman or Grachan Moncur, or even Dolphy or Monk! I guess it depends where you draw the line, esp. with avant-garde.

FR, Birds of Fire and Apocalypse…but no

I have them too, but couldn’t choose all albums….Only favourite, without too much thinking.
Heavy Weather could figure here.
Don’t forget, it’s your favourite albums, not the best jazz fusion of all time. I had to make a choice.
John Mc Laughlin / electric guitarist
Pat Metheny off Ramp and As falls Wichita
Bill Frisell East West
Miles Davis Live Evil.
Could be
As Birds of Fire and a dozen more John Mc Laughlin
