Easier Fusion Tunes

[windfeld]

Hi Guys

I am looking for some of the easier Scofield, Landau, Henderson etc tunes. I am getting into playing more of this style, and I would love some suggestions for tunes to check out. I would love it to be quite simple. Not easy, but some of the easier tunes. They shouldn't be too hard to improvise over.

Any suggestions?

Scofield has a great tune called Idiofunk (?) on the Uberjam record, but it isn't as well known

+1 on "Chameleon", which is a song all of us learned 'back in the day'...plus if there's one Billy Cobham tune that's become a fusion 'standard' it's "Stratus", also not out-of-reach to the intermediate/beginning player of this style
