sphinxsix Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 You know Herbie Hancock's 'Headhunters', don't you.? Link to comment
JazzDoc Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 There's another one you might enjoy. It's called 'Heavy Weather' and it's by a band called Weather Report. Sorry I'm being unkind! Congratulations on discovering 'Spectrum'. It's a great album. I've always thought that one of the great fusion albums is 'Enigmatic Ocesn' by Jean-Luc Ponty: https://tinyurl.com/y4bvg2tk It seems to have got expensive. Until recently Amazon were almost giving it away! Link to comment

Just tried to suggest another good fusion album. 2 hours ago, firedog said: Try Mahavishnu's "Inner Mounting Flame" and "Birds of Fire". +1 I agree, these are the two albums from MO to start with.

AnotherSpin Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Many people connecting Billy Cobham with Mahavishnu Orchestra. Other great drummer, Narada Michael Walden, played beautifully in Mahavishnu Orch. great album Apocalypse. Speaking about great jazz fusion drummers from that era, Tony Williams, Lenny White, Alphonse Mouzon should be mentioned too. Link to comment
