out of curiosity what are your favorite jazz fusion albums?
Ohhhh man. Okay recently my fusion lineup has been Red Clay (Freddie Hubbard), Man-Child (Herbie Hancock), Emergency (Tony Williams Lifetime), In A Silent Way (my favorite Miles Davis album btw) or On the Corner, and Black Market (Weather Report). However. My favorite fusion album ever is Lanquidity by Sun Ra!
