Hmmm... You might like Planet X. It's really good Prog Metal Jazz-Fusion played with technical brilliance. Check them out!
"When I started Planet X, I had one goal: to start the sickest instrumental band in the world. I wanted to find musicans that played their instruments so fiercely, it would strike fear in the hearts of other musicians when they played," declares the group's founder Derek Sherinian.
Despite being highly technical players, the individual members - keyboardist Sherinian, drummer Virgil Donati, and guitarist Tony MacAlpine - strive for cohesion over chaos.
Sound samples: http://www.xplanetx.com/multimedia-sounds.html
- "What do you mean it's a literary high?"
- "It's a Kafka high. It makes you feel like a bug." |

| I like some jazz. The likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, and the fabulous Pharoah Sanders are all welcome in my house. |

I´ve never listened to jazz alot but I love a few records
"Dark Magnus live at Carnegie Hall" by Miles Davis is incedible, its after he met Hendix and SlyStone, so Its full of wah wah guitars, funkadelic style bass and tablas.(I love the fact that Jazz Snobs can't bear it too). If you like psychedelia you'd probably luv it
"A love supreme" by john coltraine is an incredile record, another one that psychedelia fans would like.
A guy called pharoah Sanders did a record with a track called "the creator has a master plan", I think its called meditation(but not sure as mines a copy). Its another psychedelic one, truly awsome, all strange chants and some of the coolest sounding bass lines you´ll hear. |

KD: Don't get me started about "jazz snobs". I helped run a jazz club in SF for several years, and the stories about those clowns I could tell............... Nothing worse then people / musicians that take themselves too seriously. What was it that Duke Ellington said about music again, oh yea: "There's only two types of music: GOOD music and BAD music. |

| You know I went into Tower the other day near the jazz section and saw a guy stocking the jazz bins...I was curious so I asked him of all the records cd's whatever what has been the biggest seller consistently through all the years. He said without a doubt it was Davis' "Kinda Blue"..it just sells and sells and sells...there you have it...get it for your collection...there's something there... |

| Most jazz is too sophisticated for the likes of me I guess, but I have enjoyed Sun Ra, Ornette Coleman, and Charles Mingus, as well as Coltrane, Davis, and Monk from time to time. |

sun- Ra..what a band!!!! i caught them in London in 1985 or so, and had nearly forgotten them..time to search through my old tapes.
I was introduced to jazz by Frank Zappa, so i kinda got a different take on it. Agree that snobery spolis the scene, love Chet Baker, Charlie Parker + John Coltrane though.
