,I.Check out the old Genesis with Peter Gabriel from the 70’s (The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway), old Wishbone Ash, Gentle Giant, Blind Faith, Cream, The Nazz, Todd Rundgren, John Mayall (blues) to name a few.

The trick to finding more of this type of genre (rock/jazz-fusion) is to read the liner notes and see who played in the band. Back in the day, many of these guys worked with each other.

For example: King Crimson's bassist, Tony Levin, nows collaborates with Peter Gabriel, who used to be in Genesis. Bill Bruford, who has done stints as the drummer for King Crimson, has also played/toured with Genesis, as well as been a drummer for Yes.

By doing internet searches on particular band members, you'll find a whole host of new music that you never knew existed.

Yup. That’s how I got interested in Zappa. By figuring out that Adrian Belew, from King Crimson, used to work with Zappa and Talking Heads and I think David Bowie. Belew is freaking awesome.
