Coming out of the Miles Davis quintet, guitarist and legend Jon McLaughlin started The Mahavishnu Orchestra, and created the jazz-rock fusion genre. I wouldn't say they're unknown but they're definitely lost to the times by now. The song lengths, the instrumentation, even the simple persistence of the drums are pretty much imitated and mirrored by the entire psychedelic rock genre at this point– see Tame Impala, Pond, and my other unknown suggestion: the epic Causa Sui.
