Like Children

Romantic Warrior
No Mystery

Camel:
Moonmadness

Larry Coryell/Alphonse Mouzon:
Back Together Again

Philip Catherine:
Nairam (2 album "greatest hits")

Patrick Moraz:
The Story of I

Stanley Clarke:
School Days
Stanley Clarke

Brand X (there was a discussion of this a couple of weeks ago).
Unorthodox Behaviour

Jeff Beck:
Blow by Blow

The Falcon Project:
The Revenge of Sonic Soular

Fire Merchants:
Fire Merchants

Weather Report-my favorite album by them:
Black Market

Pat Metheny Unity Group-absolutely fantastic in concert
Kin

Lagrene Bireli & Jaco Pastorius:

Return to Forever, the whole Romantic Warrior record was definitive fusion but I like

Medieval Overture

Lenny White is a boss on this.
