German band Jin Jim in 3, as recommended, limited time only

 


Information here.  They made 3 CDs of instrumental electric guitar-based jazz-rock, I couldn't really qualify it as fusion because it's more written in the contemporary jazz style of meandering melodies and extemporizations. Similar to recently posted German Cobham group's Cargo, or the Hungarian Gabor's work from much earlier, for sure the style straddles the 70s-80s border, with, thankfully, no incursions to worry about unlike elsewhere in the world, so help us God...

City Lights, from the first album:




The second one is a little bit more electric and intense. Compositions are not quite so adventuresome as Gadi Caplan, Mathematicians, etc. from recently. With that proviso in mind note the final and closing composition called Surface which is so reminiscent of our 70s glory days of prog-fusion:
