When I was coming up as a Jazz player Maiden Voyage and Dolphin Dance were staples of jam sessions. Great days.

Just when I thought I had listened to every worthwhile fusion album out there, I find this beauty.

Highly recommended!

I had that Ronald Shannon Jackson LP when it first came out and loved it. I had two or three others too, and they were all great.

In addition to Man Dance, I've got Decode Yourself and Red Warrior. I've had the former on repeat for two days now; this stuff is wild. To my ears it sounds rather like some of the music coming out of the "No Wave" scene in the 80's—except much more accomplished and expressive. If I could classify Jackson's style in Man Dance it would be angular jazz-rock-funk fusion ... or something. Miles was right, Jazz cats can rock better than rockers.

This Bill Evans Complete Riverside box, along with the same for Thelonious Monk, are two of the best Jazz compilations ever made.

Gary Burton, Larry Coryell, Steve Swallow, Roy Haynes

Listed in A HISTORY OF JAZZ FUSION IN 30 ESSENTIAL ALBUMS introduced in the Jazz Fusion thread. A great found.

We are quite literally spoiled with Jazz masterpieces, but there are certain albums that for whatever reason, truly touch the soul. Pharaoh's Karma does it for me.

Long live Pharaoh.
