FAVORITE RECORDINGS - JAZZ AND FUSION FAVS

	WEATHER REPORT Heavy Weather 1977 Sony
	Another classic album. All the Weather Report albums with Jaco are worth checking out, this is my personal favorite. I'd also recommend BLACK MARKET, which has Jaco on a few tracks and Alphonso Johnson on the rest. "Birdland" and "Teen Town" are two of the more popular Jaco tracks ever recorded, both appear on Heavy Weather.
	BILLY COBHAM Spectrum 1973 Atlantic
	Ron Carter, Tommy Bolin, John Tropea, Jan Hammer, Leland Sklar and tunes that GROOVE make this one of my all-time favorite fusion albums. I have always loved Leland Sklar's playing and tone - he's played on SO many different records with SO many people and he always finds the correct things to play in every situation. This album is no exception. Tommy Bolin and Jan Hammer are at their best as well...
