Love the old Julian Priester and Bennie Maupin ECM albums. I see Norman Connors has some highly recommended re-releases out. One of my best finds in this genre was Vitamin F by Fontanelle, an Italian band. Another is Ancient Flight Text by New Zealander Gianmarco Liguori.
Need to learn more. Feed me with your recommendations and discuss til we drop.

Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
Big fan here..., I've recently got hooked on the Spiritual jazz compilations on Jazzman records.

Les McCann- Invitation to Openness
Love this genre. So many great albums. Most of my favorites have already been listed.
Another of my favorites, though maybe not entirely within the Kosmigroov genre:
Carlos Garnett - Black Love
The Pyramids: They Play To Make Music Fire 1973-1976
A modern entry to the genre that is pretty brilliant is Sonny Simmons & Moksha Samnyasin - Nomadic.
I heard this at a friend's house the other night, and you reminded me of my firm resolution to buy it. It's a killer. Another good one, less spiritual perhaps but in the same vein, is Peter Brotzmann with Black Bombaim.
A fan here too!
I've been playing some Airto Moreira's lately, for example, "Free" from 1972: really enjoy it!! -

Very nice record! I think the band is from Portland, Oregon though.
Oops. I guess I confused it with the Portland, Oregon in Italy.

Anyone want to offer some electric Miles-influenced prog to this list? I'm thinking about bands who riffed off from Bitches Brew.

There are two kinds of music. Good music, and the other kind. ∞
Duke Ellington.
Has anyone mentioned Rob Mazurek's Exploding Star Orchestra album Galactic Parables Vol 1 yet? Not sure if it's kosmigroov technically, but it has some killer stuff on it.
Norman Connors isn't that well known, but he certainly had heavy friends:
I missed that Norman Connors thx!

"Love, Love" by J.P...
My mistake!.
Pura vida!!.
