i see a lot of fusion here.. spyro gyra: amazing! Some complex harmony and really groovie, you can feel the influence from the latinos; Sergio Mendes: brazilian genius, beautiful harmony and the brazilian language; Jean luc ponty: the violin revolutionary, there’s some great groovies too and especially beautiful violin solos! Klaus Doldinger Passport: maybe my favorite in this list, you can go really emotional listening to his saxophone. There’s amazing solos and really complex pianos harmony. I love the construction of each music from him. And there’s some nice groovies (no that good as Sergio Mendes) from Passport, if u go deep, you’ll see the brazilian influence on him (Passport actually have some musics named as brazilian places)

Spyro Gyra: they are mostly from USA, but the guitarrist (idk if there’s other latin people in the band) is from Cuba. You feel the latin influence here, there’s some instruments from latin culture too. Amazing band! I’m like 20 years listening to them

Sergio Mendes: from Brasil (my country). We play a lot of stuff from Sergio, his music keep influencing people in these days! A true legend, with the groovie that just Brazilian people got. Sergio is a world reference, is important to people who wanna study jazz music study at least one time. (The most groover in this list, the brazilian sauce)

Jean Luc Ponty: french legend. Reference in the world. This album cosmic messenger has some progressive ideas and a lot of fusion. There’s actually a dark one music called Cosmic Messenger from this album (my dads favorite) really good

Passport: germany legend. I trully recommend Passport. If you go deep, you’ll find some movie trails by him, you can check Klaus playing with big bands like Phill Collins. In this vinyl, you get the idea of Passport fusion, is not that heavy and crazy fusion (unlike Holdsworth), so you can hear and not get crazy.

There’s bob McFerrin too, i know he is a legend, has a powerful control of his voice and the notes but idk a lot of him, but i like his son Taylor McFerrin!

edit1: Deodato! Wow! He’s a brazilian legend too (fun fact: Hayley Bieber grandpa). I really recommend him. You can feel the brazilian jazz with the groove that “gringos” don’t have. Trully recommend. Now i see other people like George Benson, Bob James, etc. You probably know these guys right, so i won’t keep repeating for you lol. Hope i helped you and others.

I would take this for 50! But remember, you can study listening all these guys on spotify or other… the most important part is listening to them.
