Favorite Jazz /Jazz Fusion

Joni , Pat Metheny, and the late great, Jaco Pastorius doing "Coyote" live from the Shadows and Light Tour back in 1979:


Probably my favorite joni Mitchell tune.
 
Not just today, but the most influential pianist of the last 30 years. LoFaro was an outstanding member of the trio, but I’ve always felt that Israels and Gomez were every bit as good or better. The tragedy of LoFaro was that he was so young...how good might he have become had he lived another 40 years?

P.S. I just signed up for a course offered at JazzPianoSchool.com on playing in the Bill Evans style. My meager skills won’t do it justice, but I thought it would be interesting to dig into it a little.
I agree mostly. I think Ahmad Jamal is also greatly copied over the last 25 years, though not nearly as much as Bill. As for Scott, well, yeah. Chuck and Eddie were very good indeed. But with Scott, Bill laid the foundation and let Scott fill in the rooms. With the other two it seemed Bill had to play more, fill in some of the rooms so to say. Eddie and Chuck were also fairly mature players when they joined Bill, although neither were exactly old. Scott was just a baby though, and his technique was so mature and prodigious for his age. Guess we'll never know.

Senri is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite drummers.

 
This one isn't as much jazzy but still a good tune and very good drumming

 
Some gorgeous Pat Metheny to start off a Saturday morning:

 
I'd say this one is aptly named, it feels like you are:

I think this is one rather unique, special, piece of music:

 
Not a jazz fan, except what George does with Jefferson Airplane.

 
One really melodic and progressive fusion tune from a pretty obscure group:
