jazz for metalheads (an offshoot of the classical thread)

[ohiogrinder]

in the grand tradition of the classical thread, this will be a thread to discuss jazz (as I am a fan) that metalheads might like. right now I only know Arthur Doyle, John Zorn, and Bill Laswell.

Jazz has had a lot of influence in certain areas of extreme music, especially free jazz (Naked City, Napalm Death, Botch, DEP, Cephalic Carnage, Swans, Atheist, Cynic, Death)

what are you favorite jazz artists and why? what would you recommend to someone just getting into it?

Ephel Duath rocks my cock and theyre awesome live too.

 

[Narg n Lamb]

Louis Armstrong cuz his ranchy voice just kicks ass, hehe

aside from jazz metal, Matthew Shipp's Equilibrium was a really awesome cd that mixed jazz with urban beats. V5 would probably enjoy it. Other than that, my jazz heroes are Pat Martino, Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, Pat metheny, and Al DiMeola

[ohiogrinder]

Blues is more emotional

thats true, but this thread is not about that, its about jazz. however, blues/jazz qualifies.

 

[Ender Rises]

^I realize that. I don't know many jazz acts, except for Miles, Armstrong, etc.

 

[PanzerKunt]

Blues is more emotional

:Smug: That was funny... Really. I didnt know I'll have to explain here that emotional music doesnt determine emoes...

 

[Ender Rises]

^Thank you Neurotica. And emotional doesn't just mean sad or depressed

 

[~Neurotica]

Even if its sad or depressed - it still doesnt determine emoes.

 

[PanzerKunt]
