Weather Report was an influential jazz fusion band of the 1970s and early 1980s combining jazz and latin jazz with art music, ethnic music, r&b, funk and rock elements (in varying proportions throughout their career).
Chick Corea's group Return to Forever was similar in style and approach; the bands in fact shared some members, including Airto Moreira.
