I'm looking for a Jazz-Hip Hop fusion album, after listening to Yesterday's New Quintet and Shades of Blue by Madlib I just need more! Does anyone have any recommendations?

EL-P has a jazz fusion album somewhere, but i heard it's very rare... his father's a great jazz/blues musician, and makes a cameo on it from what i hear... i haven't found it yet...
All ATCQ albums but im assuming you've heard them

Low End Theory has some very good jazz type fusion tracks.......The track verses from the abstract made me a Ron Carter fan after hearing him play the base.
I forgot about Pete Rock and Cl Smooths 2 albums.

Dont forget the one before that....the All Souled Out EP
Also, the older O.C. albums have some jazz fusion.
I haven't checked that out yet its like £4 on Amazon so i'll pick it up soon.

only the first 2 jazzmattaz have a jazz influence (not that much). the 3rd is straight up hiphop w/ the exception of one track w/ erika badu.
the first 2 jazzmattaz albums were pretty nice. i especially like vol.2. but, given the title and the marketing behind those projects, i find they didn't live up to the hype. on a hiphop level, again they're nice, but a lot more could be done in fusing jazz and hiphop together. guru dind't push the boundaries too much. it's more like basic NY hiphop w/ jazz riffs on top.
