Hi! 
I was making a playlist for bands that are jazzy and/or proggy and eccentric. These are all from the Baltics that I've personally seen/heard but it's hard to find more similar stuff. I'll post an example of each and maybe someone can recommend similar stuff from other parts of the world:

Camel is pretty jazz inspired, primarily on mirage.

Thanks! 

I'm a big fan of Camel (and pretty much all prog classics), but at the moment I'm looking for something more unrefined, raw, faster and angry(?). I was thinking about going through Zappa's catalog from a different angle.

Fiery is the word that comes to my mind.

Loving your choices, Vipster. I only knew Phlox and Luarvik Luarvik of those.

For energetic, and less refined, and modern, Elephant9 springs to my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVyAyh2ygfA

For classics, Area (also various Soft Machine, National Health and Matching Mole, as well as other Canterbury Scene):
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

One of my favourite Jazz-Rock artists is the British band, Audience. They released four albums in the late 60's and early 70's:-

Hello.

I'm sorry for self-advertising Angry, but why don't you give a try to these albums :


(maybe especially the latest one, Forest Stairways, but, well, listen :) ). They are also  available on bandcamp : http://jazzcomputer.bandcamp.com/ There is also a progarchive page with nice reviews of some albums :
There are also some videos on youtube, here is one :


I wish you a nice time with this weird music Smile

Not to me. I hear much more jazz influence in Caravan. To me Camel is more classical and thus symphonic sounding. There is some jazz in Camel but it's very subtle and not very dominant. Caravan is much more jazzy(imo).

Some nice links there!
Jaga Jazzist have some powerful tracks.

Miles Davis sounds pretty angry on some live albums.

One of my absolute favourite jazz rock tracks:

I highly recommend Hermann Szobel - Szobel (although it is classified by PA as RIO/Avant-Prog):
 
 
 
 
 
 
No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.
