or 70s big band and swing, 70s post-rock, 70s hardcore, 70s rap, or 70s any other genre that has been invented between 1980 and now.

Al Di Meola would be an excellent example however his best albums were in 1976, and 1978.   I do think that "Splendido Hotel" 1980 and "Electric Rendezvous" 1982 were also stellar though!   Stanley Clarke's best stuff was in the Seventies too. "School Days" 1976 is my favorite but I also love "Rocks, Pebbles And Sand" which is a 1980 record featuring the great young Simon Phillips on the drums! It's a popular view that Al's best albums came out in the 70s but I don't agree, my favorites are World Sinfonia and Kiss My Axe. These albums are much more sophisticated, with better compositions and arrangements. Wow Duck! We totally disagree which is totally RARE!   I can't stand that World Sinfonia stuff!! "Kiss My Axe" is good but for my ears nothing touches his Seventies and early Eighties stuff!
