Gene Harris, Part 2: 1976 In a Special Way, 1977 Tone Tantrum, 1982 Hot Lips

 

For myself his best album is 1976's In a Special Way, with features the intensely emotional and very European fusion sounding Soft Cycles (plus a whole ton of other goodies):

From 1977's slightly more disappointing Tone Tantrum, Cristo Redentor:

As one might have expected, 1982's Hot Lips is no longer fusion and just commercial simple funk soul.

Note that someone requested his 1984 album Nature's Way which I was not able to find-- anyone have it perchance?
