Black Sabbath and Jazz fans?


I belong in this category- been listening to Black Sabbath for decades, and jazz about 2 decades, but listening to more and more jazz....

Just discovered this "band" Jazz Sabbath, and I love it! 

The 1968 tapes just was released on Qobuz Nov 2024, and I see they have a couple of others. They are touring in the UK also in 2025.

The keyboard player Adam Wakeman was the keyboardist for Ozzy, and also played with Black Sabbath, and does his last name look familiar? Yeah, his dad is named Rick!  the guy from Yes , my other favourite band of all time. Yowsers!

It's like my music is all coming full circle!

Dream Theater is one of my favs too, Awake sounds surprisingly "audiophile like" in sound quality for a metal recording. I still listen to plenty of Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer etc. as well, but more and more jazz as the years go on.

I should have made my handle progrock, but I think it was taken already. 

with a fictional backstory that they are from the late sixties. 

That part is really weird, I don't get what the point is....

Thank you.  Just gave a listen.  Phenomenal, energetic interpretations and performances with excellent engineering and sound.  The close miked piano is wonderfully palpable and prominent.  Adam is a keyboard virtuoso like dad.  Wits backstory.  

Outstanding!

There is a direct parallel between hard-rock/metal drummers and Jazz drummers.

 

Happy Listening!

👍… Was introduced to these guys a few months back, told all my buddies about ‘em too. Awesome Stuff !!!  Just gave the Vinyl of the 1st album to a close friend for Christmas and it blew him away. 
Can be a little repetitive with some of the piano work but excellent none the less. The whole series is great and now I’ll even use some of the tracks to demo my rig being the recording quality is really good.  All in all thought, I like the 1st album the best.
