Where do you get jazz from that? I think people tend to label anything with weird chords in it "jazzy" when it really isn't in the least.EveOfDarkness said:
Anyway for some good fusion check out Weather Report, a band from the 70s. If you like prog rock you'll probably be able to get into SOME of it at least. They were a famous group back in the 70s/early 80s and had Jaco Pastorius in them for a time. Try getting "Heavy Weather," especially the song "Havona."
And Phish is NOT JAZZ.

George Benson his stuff is really fun to play. I'm playing Four by Miles Davis for my school Certificate, really hard solo, so many key changes.
I think those weren't mentioned yet:
James Hurt "Dark Grooves, Mystical Rhythms"
Joe Henderson "Porgy & Bess"
Tomasz Stańko "Litania", "A Soul Of Things", "Suspended Night", "Purple Sun", "Music For K."
jmTrio "Interludium" (I hope it's available outside Poland...)
Charlie Haden/Hank Jones "Steal Away"
James Hurt "Dark Grooves, Mystical Rhythms"
Joe Henderson "Porgy & Bess"
Tomasz Stańko "Litania", "A Soul Of Things", "Suspended Night", "Purple Sun", "Music For K."
jmTrio "Interludium" (I hope it's available outside Poland...)
Charlie Haden/Hank Jones "Steal Away"

Yeah most people who identify 'jazz influence' in metal are idiots. Everyone likes to claim "Still Life" is jazz influenced, I guess just cause it has lots of weird chords. The band Cynic also gets labelled "jazz influenced" all the time. A bunch of bullshit, even if they use chords used in jazz it's not like they use them in the same style AT ALL or have any sort of improvisatory thing going.
The Meshuggah guitarist's side project, "Sol Niger Within," has some straight up fusion on it though. Other than that the only metal cd that I've heard that actually DOES have jazz influence is Ephel Duath - The Painter's Pallette.
lotta good names...
i gotta say that anything with Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums is probably golden.
i.e.
Michael Brecker on tenor and/or Joey Calderazzo (sp?) on keyboards.
as for older stuff...
anything with McCoy Tyner and/or Joe Henderson
i also like the classic bebop stuff like Bird, 'Trane, Cannonball, Sonny Stitt, but less so

I love jazz. I luckily have a radio station run by UNT that I can listen to for free jazz without commercials. If you can listen to a good jazz station, do so.
I also haven't seen Duke Ellington mentioned in this thread.

Using guitar tone that sounds like the "jazz guitar" midi patch doesn't mean the music is jazzy...but I guess maybe you have something there.

You are right. If I said anything by Opeth is jazzy though, it would be Advent. It has some very jazz moments.wankerness said:

i wasn't talking about the tone...mike's lead tone has always been bluesy and jazzy...really dark and warm.
