El Hombre Invisible
Most jazz Fusion I hear doesn't do it for me...neither the smooth CTI sound nor the 'prog' muso Mahavishnu side of things...often it's not funky enough to my ears and the rigid technical proficiency leaves me cold. Hancock's Mwandishi band are an exception, as is Miles's work, especially the Jack Johnson sessions, which blow most other efforts away. Later, Defunkt showed how it could be done from another angle, which was fierce, tight, funky and imbued with some of that ol' Punk attitude.
