rock/jazz fusion


i ran across a group called "Jazz is Dead"; Jimmy Herring, T Lavitz, Billy Cobham who did instrumental versions of some G.Dead stuff. I loved it. It reminds me of old Jeff Beck; "Wired", "Blow by Blow", I wish I had more of the style. The recent Jeff Beck was way too techno/alternative, lacked the soulfullness of his older stuff. Any suggestions?

Buckethead smokes on alot of stuff (Transmutation is one of the best) Jonas Hellborg Octave of the Holy Innocents,is spiff too. I guess Buckethead toured w/ Buns & Hoses, but The Cure? What record is he on? The Jazz is dead stuff is tired old rehashed poop. The musicians on it(mostly greats) are not stretching themselves at all. If you wanna hear what Jeff Beck might be into if he'd have kept growing check out:
Gambale/Hamm/Smith- 1st
Larry Coryell- Cause and Effect
T.J. Kirk- 1st
Gateway- 1st
Greg Howe- Introspection
Richie Kotzen- Electric Joy
Guru Guru- Dance of the Flames
Embryo- Rocksession
Kraan- Live 74
Bozzio/Levin/Stevens- Blacklight Syndrome
Miles Davis- Agharta
Polytown- Polytown
Harriet Tubman- Prototype
Attention Deficit- (either one)
Soft Machine- Softs
Tony Williams- Believe It
Allan Holdsworth- Velvet Darkness
Left out tons of excellent recordings, hope of this works for you.
