Anyone got any thoughts/recommendations on Prog Jazz ? The obvious choices are the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Soft Machine ( I only like Wyatt era - after that it was awful Open University Lecturer tedious crap jazz noodlings IMO). I think Free Jazz as a genre would definitley meet progressive requirements, eg. late period Coltranre alongside Miles Davis' In A Silent Way/Bitches Brew/Dark Magus. Special mention would also have to go to the stunning music created by Alice Coltrane, and 'Karma' by Pharoah Sanders is also an essential listen: ------------- 'You are a divine being.

You may want to check out the "Jazz-Rock Fusion" and "Canterbury Scene" sub-genres. That's where you'll find most of what you're looking for, I think. There are also some bands listed under the metal sub-genres that fuse metal with jazz music, though I can't name any off the top of my head, except for Felix Martin; I'm not sure if he's on this site. Free jazz isn't included because this is a progressive rock site, and although free jazz could well be described as progressive, it couldn't be described as rock. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

May I recommend some wonderful music from Norwegian 10 piece band, Jaga Jazzist: These guys have gathered a lot of acclaim and praise over that past few years; Even winning the BBC award for best Jazz album of the year in 2002. They're extremely eclectic and unique though, you won't find any other band like them. Zappa and Gentle Giant influences can be heard and The Mars Volta have stated their admiration for the band. -------------

Alice Coltrane is a fave of mine; especially for her late 60's through early 70's period. My first of hers was Universal Conciousness, which I just fell in love with, but while she she made progressive jazz fusion, it's not progressive jazz-rock fusion. Still, I have wanted a category where progressive artists such as John Coltrane (in Jazz) and Stockhausen (electronic/ musique concrete) could be highlighted that have a definite musical relation to artists here. I love Karma by Pharoah Sanders, and there is some music by Pharoah Sanders that could make him considerable for PA. Anyway, I would recommend Donals Byrd's Electric Byrd (not in PA, though he should be included for that album). Sun Ra's Languidity: Of a different sort, and I one I wanted in PA, Janko Nilovic: I've received many suggestions I could mention from Saperlipopette, but I don't want to make this a really long post. Booby Hutcherson's Cirrus is a good one, as is Herbie Mann's Stone Flute. He recommended Gonda Sextet, which is great, and is the sort of jazz that a Magma fan could really get into. Could recommend Magma for the first two albums as jazz fusion. In the archives, favourites of mine other than Davis are Herbie Hancock (the Mwandishi trilogy) and related. I love Eddie Henderson's Realization and Julian Prister's Love, Love, as well as Maupin's The Jewel in the Lotus. I also love Toshiyuki Miyama and His New Herd: Masahiko Satoh - Yamataifu,, and masahiko Satoh's Amalgamation. I also love Bjorn J:son Lindh stuff and Terje Rypdal. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I was slightly put off that site, to be honest, as when I was there there seemed little actual discussion about music (however, I did enjoy people such as dreadpirateroberts there, so I might return) -- most of the posts were people posting what they were listening to without discussing the music. Actually, come to think of it, this topic made it two pages, and I think i did much the same at PA and only two people responded. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1167" rel="nofollow - http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1167 It is a good site, just needs more members for more lively musical discussion. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

There are threads discussing music. Just go to the appreciation threads. There's also discussion throughout the various forums there. The "What Are You Listening To" thread over there occasionally has some chat too. The problem IS the lack of activity, more members would mean more discussion. If you came over, Logan, it could spark some great chats about whatever jazz-related you want to discuss. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

I did find it easier to quickly find topics of interest at JMA than at PA, actually, as unlike with Prog generally, I am interested in the big names of jazz (as well as the lesser known of course). I know I have, with the exception of on non-JMA person in particular at PA, had more lively discussions about jazzy music at JMA that I have had when creating topics in PA for General Music Discussions about jazzy artists. I shall return, especially as my interest in Prog-as-a-genre has been waning for years. I'll do a thread looking for recommendations there. I'm hoping for more stuff like this: I really do wish that M@x had somehow combined PA and JMA, though (the I guess he'd also have to combine metal-music archives), as unlike some people, I'm more of a one message board kind of guy. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

He does. I actually feel pretty bad about when I was asked to join the site that I ended up contributing nil. Was just too much for me to juggle PA with JMA. I may be the shortest lived collab that site has seen. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

| Thanks for all the musical and website recommendations everyone. In recent months I've been on a Sun Ra quest that seems to be neverending. His output was phenomenal. I recently read a biography which also explained how he used to write/notate everything - all this seemingly unrestrained inspired freeform weirdness was coming out of his head fully formed. Incredible. I think that with the mighty Ra it's the beginning of a glorious ongoing mission. It's Jazz Jim, but not as we know it...... |

That's really good Bosh, and I hadn't seen the '68 Soft Machine clip before Hellogoodbye. Nice one. I think it's very telling and so sad that Robert Wyatt still says that being kicked out of Soft Machine was even worse event for him than his accident. Anyway, he's utterly unique and truly inspirational. This is an excellent collaborative album from a couple of years ago: I also think that he has an astonishing ability to beautifully personalise in his interpretation of other people's songs. Interestingly, he says that he'd love to be able to write great pop songs, and tries in his own way. He once said 'It doesn't get any better than that' when describing Buddy Holly's 'Raining In My Heart'. It reminds me of Miles Davis' comment re there only being two types of music : good and bad. That says it all really. ------------- 'You are a divine being. You matter, you count. You come from realms of unimiganible power and light, and you will return to those realms' Terence Mckenna |

That's the beautiful thing, he loves the classic standards and in his own work he weaves a spell of quirky and utterly distinct beauty that does tip the hat to the traditional at times. He takes the map and goes somewhere completely off road with it. I'm seriously digging that Anja Garbarek track by the way. He takes an asinine and utterly bland 60s pop song and somehow manges to invest with heartfelt emotion, gorgeous harmonies and a great groove: ------------- 'You are a divine being.

I discovered this album a year ago after reading about Graham Bond in the excellent 'Electric Eden: Unearthing Britain's Visionary Music'. As a lover of folk in all it's various guises, that book does stray into Prog territory and also got me into Third Ear Band, as well as some obscure and wonderful composers.

Nice tribal stuff ! You're right : progressive is a path to so many styles. I don't know why, but in France the term progressive has a bad connotation. It is related to long boring pieces and musical pyrotechnics. It's wrong, of course. But they only swear here by pop. Yet, can we resume Joni Mitchell to a folk singer, Kate Bush to a pop singer or Bjork to an electro singer ? These artists belong to a progressive movement. It's not only rock'n'roll and i like it

Exactly! Very good examples. Also, classic era Fairport Convention's experiments in folk rock were surely progressive ie. fusing indian raga rythmic patterns with electric folk ie. 'A Sailor's Life', and more recently Jim Moray. Same with classical . What is Stravinsky's 'Rite Of Spring' if not Progressive, so much so that it caused a riot. Apologies for posting these two non prog jazz links on this thread but they illustrate the nature of Progressive as a pan genre artistic movement: ------------- 'You are a divine being.

I am seriously addicted to this Japanese fusion act called Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden. I just reviewed their Structure et Force album, and it is imo a true modern masterpiece. Here's a track from it: Also French band Syrinx are another modern fusion band that steals my breath away. They are a sister band to NIL and Thork, which also infuse a bit fusion into the mix - in fact all three acts are well worth investigating, if you're looking for something a bit out of the ordinary.

^ just heard that album for the first time a few months, some good stuff on there - the studio version has a couple of fusion heroes on it too - Di Meola, Clarke on bass etc

All trenmendous stuff! A friend turned me on to this Egyptian percussionist as I'm always raving about tablas, bodhrans etc: This is a masterclass: Cornish Celtic fusion, yeah! ------------- 'You are a divine being.

I agree, lots too like - and I even like the scat-kinda vocal parts, which I usually don't go for. ------------- We are men of action. Lies do not become us. http://www.jazzmusicarchives.com/" rel="nofollow - JazzMusicArchives. |

Supersilent - amazing improvised music that blurs the boundaries between jazz, rock and electronics. But definitely very prog in the form of longform pieces, building of tension and release etc. seriously check out 4, 5, 6 and 7 and probably 8

| Been listening to Exivious recently. Now they are fun. Jazz / fusion / metal / prog I guess you'd call it. |
