Examples of fusion in music. (funk, jazz, punk, band)

I need examples of how fusion can be shown in music. I am going to want to be able to play them so don't pick anything incredibly crazy with all sorts of weird instruments. I was thinking of jazz stuff, but I don't know any particular songs. Any recommendations?

James Chance & The Contortions. Not too 'crazy' i dont think. Fuses Jazz, punk and at times funk

Any particular songs?

Oh also, the band that I am playing with consists of some weird stuff. We have a piano, drums, bass, guitar (me), oboe, and a saxophone.

I am convinced there is nothing. Of course, since it is fusion we could just throw that **** all together.
