I prefer classical music although that has been known to be 'bastardised' by jazz - take Duke Ellington and his rendition of the Nutcracker Suite OR some fool jazzed up the Planets by Holst thinking that this was what Ellington might have done. I can also cite the Anvil Chorus(Verdi) by Glenn Miller and Rondo a la Turka, which I think was murdered by Kenny Ball? Sacrilege!!

Wow ! there are some well educated jazz people here !
Yeah Roland Kirk was a total freak, as most of those died too early legends I've not been able to see them live, to my great disapointment. Also because it seems that I'm young compared to most of you ! About jazz and metal: well, more and more metalheads are going into jazz, probably because of the technical aspect of the learning, then for the harmonic concepts, for example an NYC based bassist, Steve Jenkins, mixes a lot jazz, prog and metal, specially with guitarist Nicholas LLerandi in Stimpy Lockjaw, probably the most versatile guitar player I know, he loves many kind of music as long as it is "good" music https://stimpylockjaw.bandcamp.com/album/stimpy-lockjaw Jazz and classic: the essence of jazz is to borrow melodies, and reharmonize them in a "jazz sound" fashion, hence the exploration of famous classical standards. As long as the melody sounds cool to them, jazzers will cover classic, pop (specially The Beatles tunes... my pianist plays "Hey Jude" ragtime style and it's really awesome !), rock, anything ! The perfect example for that is Serge Gainsbourg: he was a well trained jazz pianist and borrowed many classical standards as leading melodies to write his most famous songs, as he said "I like the classical music. I make some small music. some "musiquette". A minor art. Thus, I borrow." https://www.francemusique.fr/chanson...lassique-33502 And as a bassist of course Jaco Pastorius is a major influence ! and yes I do also prefer the compositions he did for the Word Of Mouth big band for example, the Jaco tune I love the most is "Three Views Of A Secret", with the late Toots Thielemans (RIP) on harmonica, pure genius: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBhoDaS5SKQ Thanks for the documentaries links ! I knew about the one with Monk, but didn't have any clue about the Bix Beiderbecke one, so definitely have to loose some hours here and there Last edited by SoIGotTheGroov; August 19th, 2018 at 08:41 PM.. |

There was a place in Cardiff I used to go to 30 + years ago, The Four Bars Inn opposite the castle. Saw some great stuff there. Dates back to 1731 apparently https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Bars_Inn

As far as jazz with a strong feeling, the sultry film, 'Body Heat' with the heat and humidity of Florida, was shown with a bigband in the style of Harry James in the background performing, 'That Old Feeling'.. as Kathleen Turner appears. Normally, with vocals and lyric, but it's still impressive, with the music and femme fatale...and a guy in way over his head.

A remake of The Postman Always Rings Twice, with a much better score but no John Garfield and Lana Turner
