I love Buckethead. No, he doesn't play what most would consider "fusion", but to me it is a fusion of sorts. It's a fusion of metal, funk, shred, ambient electronica, experimental what-not, and God knows what else. Bucket will be emerging from his chicken coop for a US tour this fall. Go see him. Here are a couple of links with the dates:
Jimmy Herring: Lifeboat
Herring's first solo album is one of the best jazz releases of the year.
McCoy Tyner: Guitars
Latest album from the legendary jazz pianist, featuring John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, Derek Trucks, and Bela Fleck. Also includes a making-of DVD.
Tadashi Goto: Innervisions
Heavy prog rock with guests Chris Poland, Brett Garsed, Ty Tabor, Tony Levin, and many others.
OHM: Circus of Sound
Great new album from Chris Poland's fusion power trio.
Cosmosquad: Acid Test
I've been revisiting this one since their DVD came out. Cool stuff.
Return to Forever: The Anthology
Great two-disc "best of" collection from this classic fusion band.
Greg Howe: Sound Proof
Howe's latest is fantastic. Great grooves and awesome jazzy shredding.
Alex Machacek, Jeff Sipe, Matthew Garrison: Improvision
Incredible writing and playing. A remarkable album.
Haha You are a bucket head!

He is good. I wonder who the man is behind the mask, though.

His real name is Brian Carroll. The only picture I've ever seen of him without the mask was in an old Guitar Player magazine Spotlight column. Google his real name and you'll find it.
