..on this compilation would do nicely for fusion IMHO;

Al DiMeola on guitar, Stanley Clarke bass, Lenny White drums, Chick Corea on piano...tremendous stuff, powerful, soaring. The earlier tracks have Flora Purim on vocals as well.Vocals...not my forte, but I like the Ella And Louis compilation on Verve, Our Love Is Here To Stay..Sings The Gershwin Songbook.
