Wow, a lot of the the stuff u r mentioning, never heard of. Agree Duanegoosen, that's why I said Herbie w/ Headhunters, and Return to Forever for Chick..in fact for ROF its really the early stuff, Light as a Feather. Coryell is making a comeback I think...check out his tricycles ablum. Your list is what 2 avoid? Anyway hoping u finish the list!
For some reason never got into Al Dimeola. Just doesn't connect: not enuff groove, emotional intensity, or...well as guitarist yes, but compositionally no...he needs to be a good band. Yeah, Hiromi is riot, isn't she? Wish she could be a bit more album oriented: too many styles and ideas in one go so we end upa bit confused: I find it hard to play a whole CD thru, but signs of brilliance indeed.
I love Les Claypool's bass playing but his own music gets just to weird for weird sake for me: wish he would be in a more discplined band and just play, u know what I mean? Jim Black I know and have....good but not great. David Weckl...the Synergy album is a killer indeed.
By the way, not F-N nor jazz really but check out the new North Mississippi All Stars' "Hill Country Revue"..live. not much in terms of song structure, but boy can these guys jam and play: Luther Dickerson in particular.
