Anything with Chick Corea/Return To Forever. Especially Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy, that was the record that got me into the world of jazz. It's the best mix of rock and jazz ever made.

This.
But on the topic of Chick Corea, I can't resist posting this:
Btw what about Santana? I heard he does some really nice funk / jazz fusion as well. All I've heard from him is the album supernatural though, which is mainly guitar driven mexican rock.
yeah, I knew it wasn't really jazz fusion. forgot nu jazz was what I was looking for. Either way, great stuff.
As I said definitely get on some Chick Corea, Return to Forever. Weather Report is great for anyone to cut their teeth on some fusion. Oh, you might want to check out Herbie Hancock's Headhunters too.

Nu Jazz is more of an umbrella term, but usually tends to be lighter and more...preppy?? than jazz fusion, so its not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the recommendations though
