no problem, and I'd like a friend like that too lmao.
And yes, I always go for the full album, my first will be tones for joan's bones.
Have a good one
What albums feature jazz fusion with funk / disco influence? Maybe a little bit of prog rock or new wave too...
Adrian Garcia
Christian Carter
Chick Corea is incredible, he was part of the jazzrock band Return to Forever, which is a bit less traditional sounding than the Tones album.

Leo James
Lonnie Liston Smith & The Cosmic Echoes is fantastic, especially Renaissance
Nathan Morales
I feel like you're describing Fusion.
Casiopea
Wayne Shorter
George Duke
I've been listening to quite a bit of this kinda stuff recently myself, most of it already mentioned here.
Samuel Hill
Fucking love Byrd, my introduction so several genres. Byrd in Hand, A New Perspective, Ethiopian Knights, and Places and Spaces are some good starting points I think.
Luis Russell
this guy knows where it's at
can't ignore Herbie Hancock mid-70's-to-early-80's
Head Hunters, Thrust and Man-Child are mostly jazz-funk but then things get progressively more disco on Secrets, Sunlight, Feets Don't Fail Me Now and Monster
jazz fans mostly ignore the albums after Man-Child, but if jazz+disco is what you're looking for they could be just your jam
some chronological tracks of this progression:
