QUOTE (Hungus @ Aug 16 2007, 08:07 PM) Im abit drunk right now but I just spotted this thread and I thought it would be a good place to ask about this kind of thing.... I was just wondering Ben if you know good jazz/metal bands... im sorta after anything related to those 2 genres really... just like some nice heavy jazz or some crankin metal with sweet jazz elements eh.. Sorry if this is the wrong place or I dont really make too much sense but I am fairly wasted at the moment and im just really keen at the moment... If I may respond to this,I would say that difficulty to mix metal and jazz is in fact that jazz keeps running on lower borders of power,high-output energy...it's more like being a smooth all the time,tho I'm not talking of smooth jazz now  On the other side,metal is what it is,hard kicking,bursting etc...which I love of course But putting chromatic stuff into metal is not really mixing metal and jazz,cause jazz is also about feeling,ambience,atmosphere along with scales and theory

Though if we widened the fusion to jazz/rock (rather than jazz rock) then there are arguably a lot of cross overs although perhaps it really depends on where you see the border (if indeed you see a border). Just where would we put some of the Mahavishnu Orchestra stuff, a lot of Zappa, even Miles dabbled (arguably) in the late 80s when Scofield was on guitar? Mike Stern (great player) can rock out as can Holdsworth. Medeski, Martin and Wood can switch genres. Carlton (great player and spot on Ben
 ) sessions in fusion and rock. Pat Metheny - normally very melodic Jazz (not including the wonderful free jazz he does with Ornette here - though that is melodic but in a very different way) recorded the very different 'Zero tolerance' album and that is as close to sonic feedback as most of us are ever likely to get - rock, metal or jazz. Nonetheless jazz/metal errr could be a marriage made in hell. Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Maybe I should preface Metheny's 'Zero tolerance' album with a government health warning (well it sort of does as it comes with a thumbs up from Thurston Moore - whom I hasten to add I like both solo and with Sonic Youth). It involves an awful lot of discordant guitar feedback and some people have described it as unlistenable. My wife and I each have some cds that the other really can't take (despite us both having eclectic taste) and we agree to play them only if the other is out of the house - she can't listen to it (our cats don't like it either). But hey she also can't abide Diamanda de Galas, Controlled Bleeding, Sonic Youth, Matmos, Autrechre and a lot of very experimental stuff- me, I hate her Bulgerian bagpipers and the ambient stuff her sister keeps giving her for birthdays and XMas
- each to their own. Anyway anyone interested in Zero might want to check out some audio clips first as it is not like any Metheny you have heard before. It pretty much polarises opinion in to love and extreme hate. Have a look at the listener's opinions on Amazon for an example of that - some are really quite profound and some profoundly stupid.
