MÃƒÂ¡sfÃƒÂ©l is a recent fave of mine, as is Kochi and Bubblemath. And Uncle Moe's Space Ranch is pretty far out, too. Yay.

not sure how 'fusion' any of this is, but lately i have been spinning a lotta free jazz, namely:

mccoy tyner
matthew shipp (saw him live recently & it was excellent)
william parker
hamid drake
blue series continuum
sun ra
bruford & levin (ie. the rhythm section of king crimson)
eric dolphy

i'm not sure if that's the kind of stuff that you're after, or if you want something more rockified/hip-hop-centric. regardless, they're good places to start.

Oh, oh ! Is it raining goats ?

On goats ?

The bones do not lie. Well, they do, duality, but not about that.

Favorite jazz album of all time: Ask The Ages by Sonny Sharrock, Pharoah Sanders, Charnett Moffett, and Elvin Jones.

As far as jazz fusion in the usual sense, The Mahavishnu Orchestra floats my leaky boat. The further into the late '70s and '80s you get, the worse the genre gets, generally speaking.

How does listening to a certain type of music make you pretentious?

Herbie Hancock
Al DiMeola
John MacLaughlin
Chick Corea
Pat Metheny
Jaco Pastorius

Hell throw Zappa, Santana, and Jeff Beck in there too.

Bolded for emphasis. And how is that music pretentious? And if we're pretentious for listening to it, please explain? Isn't it a little pretentious to have this completely unwarranted air of superiority? Are you gay?

Surely you would not want Darryl so deprived, and so - asphyxiated ? Unmasked, denuded of all sense of self, reason or purchase, and so Ã¢â‚¬â€œ disintegrated. Dispersed, consigned and forsaken to the ephemeral upon the wheeze. Do you, Johnny ? Do you ?

I am sure you agree. Yes.

I'd recommend Shatner's The Transformed Man. Eine wunderbar album.

Rex is all about prog, apparently.

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
