Topic: Prog bands that could play Jazz Posted: October 18 2007 at 10:15 |
I dont know if that is the right section for this subject.
But, which band, considering your opinion, they could play in a jazz band or just jazz music, if they wanted to? For me, Maneige is the prog band that can play jazz also. Their music sure has jazz elements but if they wanted they could play pure jazz. What do you think? Edited by oracus - October 18 2007 at 10:54 |

Krimson for starters - check out some of the King Crimson Collector Club series, e.g. the Denver radio recording from the Wallace period. Bruford always claimed he played jazz drums whatever band he was in.

I'm no expert but surely most incarnations of Magma?
Soft Machine? Mahavishnu? Area? Henry Cow? Zao? |

Christian Vander has his own jazz band, so does Didier Malherbe, and *I think* that Jaki Liebezeit does, as well.

There is an Eddie Harris album called E.H. in the U.K. in which jazz/RnB saxophonist Harris hires various British rock musicians to back him on a variety of tracks. Its not a great album, but very interesting.
My favorite track has Harris leading various members of Yes through a Miles type free fusion jam. The worst track has Ian Paice playing the worst reggae beat ever. I don't remember all the musicians, but I do recall Squire, Kaye, Alan White and others. |

Indeed. We were informed by Baldfried earlier this year that Didier Malherbe's Hadouk had won a major annual French jazz prize.
Colosseum: Hiseman and Heckstall-Smith had both paid they dues as jazz sidesmen. Colosseum 2 was a jazz rock group.

King Crimson might be able to pull it off, but not with whatever saxophonist played those solos on Red. And not if Fripp soloed the way he did in 21st century Schizoid Man.

Check out Italian band Mass Media, they also play Rick Wakeman and The Nice covers but their attempts to play jazzrock are awesome and very exciting

Ian, these are my faves: Pat Metheny - Speaking of Now Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior Brand X - Unorthodox Behavior Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo Maneige - Les Porches Those are all good starting places, I'd think. |
