Jazz fusion metal?

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Is there such a thing? Instrumental, progressive music with a blend of various instruments the way jazz fusion artists like John McLaughlin and Jaco Pastorius play, but with a distinctive metal influence? Would Marty Friedman's solo stuff qualify, or maybe Zombi? What about Pelican?

Referring to the job where they do the limbo - "I can't do that. I'll be the laughing stock of the Grindcore community"

Back on topic - Alarum are metal with some Jazz infusion. Not sure if it's what you're after though. Eventuality is a kick-ass album.

I know just the thing, give a listen to these songs by Diablo Swing Orchestra: Wedding March for a Bullet, Ragdoll Physics, and Boogie Boogie

Beyond that, I'd recommend the song A Shaman's Whisper by Gordian Knot and the song The Unpoetic Circle by Ephel Duath.

hell, even the faceless has a ton of jazz influence. look up the song "akeldama" by them.
