Miles himself
Milestones, the Miles + Coltrane box, all of the Classic Quintet material 65-68.

Don Ellis Electric Bath
Eddie Gale Ghetto Music

Unity
Lawrence of Newark
Sonny sharrock Ask The Ages (could go further into him but he's really noisy elsewhere)
Et Cetera, Kraan, Embryo are all krautrock stuff that's pretty groovy fusiony stuff at least early on.
You could check out earlier stuff on Proper. Their Bebop spoken Here, Duke ellington & Count Basie sets are all pretty great,as are many others. 4cds for pretty liottle, have seen these boxes at 9sterling a pop (my wonderful keyboard has interchanged or duplicated several keys & I don't knopw how to correct).
Sure I'll think of others if I cogitate on the subject.
