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!

👍… 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. 

+1, jafant. As a drummer myself, Bill Ward was one of my heroes. And I also have a  list of jazz and jazz/rock fusion drummers who I admire. Smooth jazz drummers... not so much.

There is another band -- I believe -- called, "Brown Sabbath" as I recall. The sound on the "Brown Sabbath" CD I have is kind of energetic jazz; as often with jazz, YMMV.

Cheers, and Happy New Year.

I’m starting to recognize my age, but I grew up on a variety of hip hop, rap, punk rock, and metal. For various reasons beyond sonics, I’ve been listening to more jazz, blues, singer songwriter types (Blaze Foley, Fiona Apple, Townes to name a few)…but the itch for the excess dopamine, adrenaline, whatever it might be remains.  
 

 I continue to find great compromise options such as Alter Bridge, Gojira, Myles Kennedy, Creed, Jazzmatazz w / Guru, Khemmis, King Gizzard and others I could name. 
 

Too often overpriced, over represented, or unreliable gear aside, the musicians are well. 

I like listening to Black Sabbath when I'm in my Camaro, wearing a food stained "wife beater" and enjoying a Marlboro.  Being surrounded by a few dozen empty Bud Light beer cans and empty pizza boxes is step 2 in the immersion-listening process.
