Try Herbie Hancock - Maiden Voyage (mentioned above - hard bob/modal) and Headhunters (more on the funk side of things)
I'll try to post some more later when I get home and look through a few albums.
I heard that, too but somehow I forgot :facepalm:

ok, try some of these:

Horace Silver - Song For My Father
Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack
Sonny Rollins - Plus 4
Sonny Rollins - Saxaphone Colossus

I love jazz fusion, but my knowledge is extremely limited and I'd really like to get into it. I know Weather Report and Return to Forever, and I know of Mahavishnu orchestra, even if I haven't properly listened to them yet-- any recommendations for a good, proper introduction to a good fusion band?

The Dixie Dregs have elements of jazz fusion and are really fun to listen to.

My first dabbling with jazz fusion was with Return To Forever's Romantic Warrior, after that, I tried out Al DiMeola's Electric Rendezvous. Really great stuff

Been real into Herbie Hancock lately (more than usual at least). Albums listened to: Head Hunters, Fat Albert Rotunda, Maiden Voyage, Speak Like a Child, Future Shock, and Mwandishi. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think I would probably have to say either Fat Albert or Mwandishi. Both on opposite ends of the spectrum, but amazing in their own ways.

I'd recommend checking out the Chick Corea Elektric Band.  Listening to the Eye of The Beholder album takes me back to college freshman year. 

Then perhaps proceeding as well with Scott Henderson's, Eric Marienthal's, and Frank Gambale's respective solo albums.

don't know how I missed this earlier.  Yes, Chick Corea Elektric Band would be a good place to start.  And as TVC mentioned, most of the people that have been in the band have gone on to have successful solo careers.

Dave Weckl was in that band too. Good stuff.

Also check out Brand X. Amazing fusion band from 70s (their 90s stuff is cool too). Phil Collins is on the first 3 albums, and the bassist Percy Jones might be top 5 best fusion bassists of all time.

In terms of Mahavishnu Orchestra, you really can't go wrong with either The Inner Mounting Flame or Birds of Fire. The former is a little bit more furious, but both are just teeming with energy.

Other fusion classics that you must check out:
Believe It by The New Tony Williams Lifetime
Enigmatic Ocean by Jean Luc Ponty
World Tour 90 by UZEB

So I've started listening to Mahavishnu Orchestra. Pretty good, although I highly favor the melody-oriented songs (like Birds of Fire) over the noise tracks.

She's amazing. One of my favorite jazz artists of all time. All of her albums are incredible. "Time Control" and "Voice" are my favorites.

pretty sweet!  Love the vibes, and the rhodes.  Some of the synth sounds were a little questionable, but overall it was quite enjoyable.

She's been my favourite artist for the last 4 years or so. Time Control and Spiral are my favourites, but you can't go wrong with any of them. I need to give Move some more time, it might be up there with those two, we'll see.

Just saw this, I love Hiromi! Her latest album, Move is one of my favorites of 2012. Great stuff. The album also has the drummer on Judas Priest's Sin After Sin, Simon Phillips.
