Thanks for the feedback. Gary Boyle sounds quite decent.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
(I searched for Arcing Wires, but couldn't find it, probably because the search-function doesn't search in titles of youtubeclips.)
Almost two months after ordering Prime arrived from it's trip from Australia. I like it. If I had to describe it I would say it's a rockier version of Ghost Rhythms. Thanks for posting.
Yeah, I got my copy from Bandcamp too and it took a pretty long time to arrive. I like it a lot! A friend of mine whose tastes sometimes overlap with mine checked it out when he asked what I'd been listening to, and he liked it so much he bought it also. Word of mouth, baby!
This thread has been dormant for quite some time. I recently stumbled on this French band and I like what I hear quite a lot. Not sure if it fully belongs here. There are elements of fusion and there are elements of rock, so why not? Listen for yourselves:
The new Scott Kinsey-CD, Adjustments, features one track with Scott Henderson: https://scottkinseymusic.com/track/2756458/tiny-circles

Love that first track, but was less impressed by the second, which is more focused on Mer Sal's singing.
Came across this when searching for Gavino Murgia, an interesting guy who blends jazz and traditional Sardinian music, though here he sticks with the jazz aspect of his work.
"PORK EXPLOSION E FLAVIO BOLTRO MILES DAVIS TRIBUTE LIVE!"
Miles tribute covering the Miles Smiles thru Tutu periods. Murgia shows up for the last half as a guest.
New Dutch fusion-band lead by Matthijs Geerts, that released an album recently called Lost In Reverse.
Here's a short introduction:
Cameron Graves is the Slayer of jazz fusion. And his album Seven is the Reign In Blood of jazz fusion.
- and the rest of the album as well...
Explosive new fusion album from Fernando Molinari. Great compositions that lean towards rock, stellar production and some high-powered guests such as Marco Minneman. And if you are into bass...well, look no further as Fernando puts on a dazzling display of both fretted and fretless playing with his arsenal of custom F Basses.

Modern World Symphony No.3? There’s definitely parts of that which have a similar intensity, though Graves uses fewer standard jazz fusion moves I think. Also it seems like both of them have a strong influence from later McCoy Tyner in their piano playing.
One of the things that impresses me about the Graves album, and that prompted the semi-joking Slayer comparison, is that the intensity is almost unremitting. There’s 11 short tracks of two to four minutes (no long self-indulgent solos here) and with the exception of one solo piano interlude every cut kicks arse. A thrasher’s approach to constructing an album!
Finally an album by Dutch guitar-master Peter Tiehuis and his band T5, called Heart In Mind.
This is one of the tracks, To T Or Not To T, here in an orchestral setting:
More video's can be found on his site: https://petertiehuis.nl/videos/ or youtube-gallery: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...1A77B45E410484
To refresh our memory, here's Tiehuis during a concert with Gino Vannelli, playing People Gotta Move:
And here's Tiehuis with Mike Keneally:
January 2021 Steve Hunt released his solo-album Connections. I recently found out about it and after I received it today I must say this would have been in my top ten.
Of course most will know Hunt for his keyboard-playing with Allan Holdsworth and yes, there's a track dedicated to the latter, called Carry On. Also very much in the Holdsworth-vein is Memories Of Sherwood, featuring Alex Machacek, Jimmy Earl and Vinnie Colaiuta. Other tracks seem - like Scott Kinsey - influenced by Joe Zawinul/Weather Report. All in all a great modern fusion-album, featuring the best musicians there are in the jazz-rock world. To name a couple others: Chad Wackerman, Randy Roos, Verigil Donati, Gary Husband, Jimmy Johnson, Skuli Sverisson, Billy Cobham, Tom Brechtlein, John Patiucci and Matt Garrison.
Too bad he couldn't get anyone good to play with.
I'll have to check it out.

Happy with what I have to be happy with.
Sorry if this has already been posted, or is widely known, but I just found this looking in another Bandcamp user's collection. It's pretty damn good on first listen. And it's "pay what you want":
