Steve Morse Band: Stand Up
I've been revisiting this one lately. My favorite Steve Morse Band album. Worth it for "English Rancher" and "Golden Quest" alone. Guests include Eric Johnson, Albert Lee, and Peter Frampton.
Tony Williams New Lifetime: Lifetime: The Collection
Contains the Believe It and Million Dollar Legs albums, both of which feature Allan Holdsworth. Classic stuff. Every fusion fan needs to own Believe It.
Michael Landau: Live
This came out a few years ago, but I keep going back to it. A truly awesome guitar album.
OHMphrey: OHMphrey
Awesome prog-jam-fusion collaboration featuring members of Umphrey's McGee and OHM.
John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension: Live At Belgrade DVD
Great footage of a great band. Highly recommended.
Jimmy Herring: Lifeboat
Herring's first solo album is one of the best jazz releases of 2008.
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.
