My impression is that you like 70s rock and so on, so I personally think the 70s fusion groups would be a good place for you to start. It's a bit like jazz played by rock bands after all
When we did the Prog & Fusion Album Club, we discussed Jean-Luc Ponty's album Enigmatic Ocean from 1975 at some point and I always thought that could be a real good entrance into fusion for those coming in from the rock angle. The album features of course Ponty on his electric violin, but also guitarist Allan Holdsworth which is definitely a big name in jazz fusion.
Here's a link to the discussion :

Ugh, there was only one other poster besides myself. Now I remember why I gave it up.
