I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

A couple more!

You'd probably know it already - but maybe Emergency by Tony Williams, featuring Larry Young and John McLaughlin. Fairly aggressive but not drums, piano and bass of course, organ drums & guitar

Also these guys have some ace albums:

or Brad Mehldau maybe, who I only recently came across

does some interesting covers too

Anything by Esbjörn Svensson Trio. You won't go wrong with Tuesday Wonderland, Live in Hamburg or Viaticum.

That's Kenny G with Miles Davis on my avatar, by the way.

Hi,
 
Not sure I should not be adding anything that has Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke ... and some of those pieces are not only heavy, but quite weightless ...
... And then one day, the prophet said that you and I would know what is art ... and real!

Roberts, that was a great suggestion. The song Minority captured my attention instantly. Perfect. Handshake

Do you know anything like this but more upbeat?



My pleasure! Will keep thinking. Perhaps Hiromi Uehara? Though you might know her from PA?


I second that recommendation
Thirded... and I have to recommend the bad plus one more time and add Mouse On The Keys if you're already aware of TBP
 
I also second Now He Sings Now He Sobs, an excellent piano driven album

Oscar Peterson, although his work is not avant, is much more bop. Nevertheless, he had a great bass player, I can't remember his last name, but the first was Niels

Any sub-genre that fits this generic aspect is welcome.

my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicted musicians to crazy ones....

Hey Horizons!
Perhaps Bill Evans in a trio setting, piano, drums and bass.
My fav of his is 'Everybody Digs Bill Evans' which was recorded just before he did Kind of Blue with Davis, so it's more of a cool sound with some harder bop and not avant, so it might not be quite what you're after.

I'll keep working on a suggestion (and i bet someone else here will come through for you while I'm still thinking!)

EDIT: Like Kazuhiro! Smile
