rock/jazz fusion

John Scofield's "A Go Go" with Medeski, Martin, and Wood still blows me away every time I hear it.

I also love Scofield's "Hand Jive"

Although I would almost be tempted to veto a recording titled "Jazz Is Dead" on principle, I must admit I also enjoyed it. I second the John Scofield recommendations; and if you like T. Lavitz's work, check some of The Dixie Dregs' recordings. Billy Cobham made a record in the '70's (God, has it been that long?) titled "Spectrum" that I highly recommend; it featured a young Michael Brecker, and the jazz/fusion saxophone world was never the same again.

I've got one more
PRAXIS - "Transmutation" is a mix if industrial, jazz, funk and punk alltogether featuring famous funk-bassist Bill Laswel, Buckethead(from cure) and Brain -- that's where the jazz rests literally.

The Jazz is Dead CD's are great.You might also enjoy Col.Bruce Hampton and The Aquarium Rescue Unit[Jimmy Herring again].Also Double cd Phil Lesh and friends for Dead stuff jammed out.Jimmy Herring and Warren Hayes tour with Phil a lot which brings us to Gov't Mule that covers some Coltrane and other jazz stuff on some earlier cd's.Double live one for example.Allman's freely borrowed Coltrane licks[Dicky note for note in mid slow, down and dirty part of W Post!] on the Filmore East album.Elizbeth Reed on same lp influnced heavily by the Miles Kind of Blue.Enjoy !
