Here in this post, I'll post albums from different Guitar and Bass Players of Jazz Fusion. I'll keep on adding more and more. Enjoy. 
"I've been following Frank Gambale for years way back to the Chick Corea Elecrtik band days. This guy can simply do it all, from beautiful acoustic work, to power rock, to the best fusion guitar work on the planet.I just recently have picked up several of his solo projects and they all are quite good. Passages has some great tunes on it and for a four piece band it sounds pretty full. The title track Passages is one of the greatest slow blues guitar tracks of all time filled with power and passion. I highly reccomend it." David G."

Remember way back in 1981, when skinny, Berklee-trained chopsmeister Victor Bailey took on the unenviable task of following the mighty Jaco Pastorius into Weather Report? The Philly-born musician - deeply influenced by Jaco, Stanley Clarke, and funk master Larry Graham - duly played like a mofo rising. Too bad Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul shifted into cruise control for the fusion band's final four records.

John Scofield - A Go Go
John Scofield's stature as a modern jazz master on electric guitar puts him in a sweet spot for this simmering, sexy collaboration with acid jazz pathfinders Medeski, Martin and Wood, Scofield's taut and spicy lines striking sparks against the soulful grooves pitched by drummer Billy Martin, keyboard colorist John Medeski, and bassist Chris Wood. Far from a cheap commercial shot, the leader's plunge into this reheated '60s style is appropriately redolent of its funk heritage and his own astringent command of sharp lyrical and smart harmonic asides.
Tracklist:
1. A Go Go
2. Chank
3. Boozer
4. Southern Pacific
5. Jeep On 35
6. Kubrick
7. Green Tea
8. Hottentot

10. Deadzy

Pat Metheny - Trio 99 � 00
Think "Pat Metheny trio record" and you'll probably recall his groundbreaking Bright Size Life or the more abstract Rejoicing (with Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins) or even Question and Answer (Dave Holland, Roy Haynes). Well, keep thinking. Trio 99-00 is the popular guitarist-composer's most straight-ahead, no-muss, no-fuss recording yet. Recorded over two days with the remarkable team of drummer Bill Stewart and bassist Larry Grenadier, Trio 99-00 covers much compositional and stylistic ground but is essentially a hard-bop-tinged blowing session. Metheny's Sonny Rollins-ish originals include "(Go) Get It," "Soul Cowboy" (featuring amazing chordal guitar), "What Do You Want?" and a blazing trio variation on "Lone Jack," which appeared on the first Pat Metheny Group album. Unusual choices are made throughout: a sensually swinging "Giant Steps," an elegant "A Lot of Livin' to Do," and inclusion of Wayne Shorter's queasy gem, "Capricorn." And as always, Pat can't help but get sentimental on acoustic guitar, culminating in the first studio rendition of "Travels." This isn't for the faint-hearted, nor those waiting for another PMG travelogue like We Live Here or Letter from Home. This is pure jazz slam, a trio showdown with the gloves off.
Tracklist:
1. (Go) Get It
2. Giant Steps
3. Just Like The Day
4. Soul Cowboy
5. The Sun In Montreal
6. Capricorn
7. We Had A Sister
8. What Do You Want?
9. A Lot Of Livin' To Do
10. Lone Jack
11. Travels

John Abercrombie
"The trio heard on this CD (guitarist John Abercrombie, bassist Dave Holland, and drummer Jack DeJohnette) recorded Gateway and Gateway 2 for ECM back in 1975 and 1977. Although each of the musicians have grown musically since that time and have piled up plenty of accomplishments, the style of music that they perform when they come together as Gateway has remained largely unchanged. One could call it "creative fusion" or "post bop"; whatever the name, the music's success depends on a great deal of intuitive interplay between the talented players. John Abercrombie's often-distorted tone and use of color show hints of Bill Frisell (who must have learned from the example of the older guitarist). Dave Holland's bass is never predictable nor subservient to Abercrombie, and, even if the other musicians were allowed to coast, Jack DeJohnette's constantly rumbling drumming would keep the performers from ever getting too comfortable. Although the original music (which concludes with a quiet piece for DeJohnette's piano) is not for all jazz fans (Abercrombie's rockish sound may scare some off), the high improvisational level makes this a set deserving of close listens." Scott Yanow
Tracklist:
1. Homecoming
2. Waltz New
3. Modern Times
4. Calypso Falto

Mateus Starling - Kairos
Hello friends and fellow music lovers. I received an email from a fan of the blog a week or so ago, a fine young gentleman and guitarist asking me to review his new cd. He sent it to me via post and i received it yesterday.
I was literally blown away by this guy, amazing compositions and masterful playing, a true jazz fusion product. He is joined by fine tenor sax player as they play effortlessly thru a myriad of chord changes with extreme precision. They are both joined by a well structured rhythm section that brings it together with beautiful melodic songs. This band ROCKS!
Have a listen to this band and tell me if you don't agree that this fine young up-start is well on his way to making more music magic in the future.
Click his link below and check out his myspace where you will find video's of him playing with another one of my favorite guitar fusion bands "Bret's Fret's.
Tracklist:
1. Exodus
2. Good Moments
3. Jerico
4. Brazilian Funk
5. Guerreiro
6. Pai

Guitar Speak - Vol.1
In 1988, the IRS No Speak label began releasing albums in the "Guitar Speak" trilogy. In this project, various guitarists were called upon to provide new material for compilation releases. The guitarists surveyed in this series generally came from diverse musical backgrounds -- making objective reviewing even more difficult than usual, but also making the listening process quite rewarding for the open-minded.
It almost goes without saying that an album of this sort would probably appeal primarily to "professionals" of the guitar craft. Not being such a professional myself, I hasten to point out that this review is intended to judge the final musical product at least as much as "the technical prowess" of the guitarist in question. Matters of speed, precision, and range are very important things. But they aren't the only important things.
Tracklist:
1. No Limit - Alvin Lee
2. Prisoner - Randy California
3. Western Flyer - Angelic Voices of Faith, Eric Johnson
4. Let Me Out �A Here - Leslie West
5. Blood Alley 152 - Ronnie Montrose
6. Sharp on Attack - Steve Howe
7. Sphinx - Phil Manzanera
8. Slow Moon Rising - Rick Derringer
9. Danjo - Peter Haycock
10. Urban Strut - Steve Hunter
11. Captain Zlogg - Hank Marvin
12. Strut-A-Various - Robbie Krieger

Tim Miller - Trio
Tim Miller�s third indie effort stands out by manifesting his influences as an aural whole. Compositionally, the freedom and openness in the music reflects the deep influence of Keith Jarrett, while sonically, the air-infused yet electric guitar sound dances with bass and drums mixed in a pastoral acoustic style. Even with headphones, the listener hears the trio of instruments entwined in the air, coupled by intense playing and musicianship.
From the perspective of guitar-related influences we hear the chordal inspiration of a fellow Bostonian, voicing-god Mick Goodrick. Linearity is Miller�s calling card, seamlessly melding Allan Holdsworth�s 21st Century legato technique with a non-guitar-centric, truly jazz vocabulary and phraseology, with notes percussing from the fretboard in pianistic fashion.
Tracklist:
1 Intro
2. Untied
3. Shift
4. Paris
5. Sparkle
6. Straight Lines
7. The Trees, The Sun
8. Density One
9. TR
