Jazz fusion
Sinclair Hurtis
I'd like to share knowledge from anyone out there who is into music by
Spyro Gyra, Lee Ritenour, Frank Gambale , Tom Costa and the like. If
anyone knows of any artists who sound like them, please let me know.
I'm crazy about music and I also have a liking to music that is a fusion
of Indian and Western instruments.
Luis Scala
If you like the fusion try to listen:
Weather report.
Yellowjakets
John Patitucci.
The Brecker brothers
Stanley Clarke
Return to forever (and old group of Chick Corea)
Al di meola
and more
Un abrazo

Some of my favorite "fusers" of east & west would be:
Don Cherry/Codona
Miles Davis (_On the Corner_, _Big Fun_-- great sitar & tabla, purist
be damned!)
Pharoah Sanders
McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Shakhti)
As far as fusing rock & jazz, that'd be
Miles (soi-disant "degenerate"-era)
Tony Williams Lifetime (w/Larry Young only, please)
Last Exit
early Weather Report (first 2, esp)
These could be useless to you, as I've barely heard of the folks you
mention (except for Spyro Gyra)
Jason Witherspoon
CLAY MOORE
The band that I think has been one of the hippest fusion groups
to arrive in the last 10 years or so is Scott Henderson and Tribal Tech.
Scott has also played with Joe Zawinal's (sp) Weather Update, and
Chick Corea's Elektric band. He writes great tunes and the playing is
ferocious. It bear's no resemblance to the "fuzak" that you hear on
"smooth jazz" stations and TV soundtracks, just to warn you.

Jayson Tipp
I think you're referring to Tom Coster (not Costa). In addition to his
own releases, Tom has worked with a number of well-known acts including
Santana and the group Vital Information. You might already be familiar
with VI as you also mentioned Frank Gambale (frequently the group's
guitarist). Other similar 70's-80's fusionists include: Chick Corea's
Electrik Band, Pieces of A Dream, Mike Stern (guitar), Robin Ford (late
70's-early 80's), Yellowjackets (pre-Mark Russo), John Scofield's albums
on GRammavision, Dave Weckl, John Pattitucci, Jeff Lorber (early
releases), Joe Zawinul's solo works, Return To Forever, and ......

CLAY MOORE
While we are on spelling, it's R-O-B-B-E-N Ford. I had to look at his
record a few times to remember that.

More power to ya !!!
Miles, Weather Report, RTF, etc circa early to mid 70's is among my
favorite music.
I feel fortunate to have been able to see most of em live ....at the
height of their powers. It was good music and very spiritual as well.
I say damm the "critcs" as well
Peace
