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!

Good stuff.  Never heard of them before.

The Bad Plus is another jazz trio that covers rock songs including Iron Man.  Just listened to them back to back.  Very different renditions of the same song.

I would not mix hard rock with jazz I still fully enjoy Black Sabbath and other my favourite rock bands. I am a big jazz fan as well spending considerably more time listening to jazz and classical music, but occasionally when my wife is not at home I listen to rock and I’m really charmed.

Speaking of jazz cover bands, I’ve always liked Jazz is Dead.   Grateful Dead music seems to lend itself to jazz interpretation.

 

And this one’s become a real favorite of mine…Big Band of Brothers, excellent big band charts and performance of Alllman Brothers favorites.
