Recommend me some great recent jazz/fusion albums with electric bass

Sign in to disble this ad
As an electric bass player playing jazz and fusion I find myself going back to Weather Report, Herbie Hancock etc. I'd like to hear some more recent albums with great electric bass playing in the jazz style (paint that as broad as you want!). So, any recommendations to inspire greatly received

Check out Steuart Liebig (he's apparently a TB member), some of his recordings might qualify as "fusion" ...although more in the dictionary definition of that word, definitely not the clichéd genre meaning.

Not recent but since they have not been mentioned you might not be aware of a group called the "Dixie Dregs"; especially the "What If" album

The Alex Skolnick Trio (Testament guitarist) put a pretty cool jazz groove to some rock classics, if you fancy something really different...

Somewhat "recent"-

The Hasidic New Wave w/ Fima Ephron on bass-
Many may call them Klezmer...
They can, at times, sound like a cross between early Weather Report/Miles' Bitches Brew-era/Jimi Hendrix.
