I definitley lean more toward the jazz-rock fusion end of this spectrum although I can dig earlier jazz from the 20's 30's and 40's like Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Artie Shaw and Billie Holliday.

Isotope- Deep End
Santana- Caravanserai

When I was a kid I got into my Dad's albums and found one called Rhapsody In Blue. I had no idea what it was but the name sounded interesting so I put it on.
It just blew me away and I probably listened to it three times a week for a couple of months.
I'm looking at the album now and it is The Hamburg Philharmonia Ochestra conducted by Hans Jurgen Walther with David Haines, pianist.
I'm glad I discovered this record when I did because it showed me at an early age that there are different kinds of music out there.
Since then I've tried not to get stuck in a rock and roll rut (groove?)

"Rhapsody In Blue" is more like modern Classical. That said, I listened to it many nights to drift off to sleep. (And I mean that in a good way.)
