I am a huge fan of dub music. They have a dub track on one of their albums.
It's technically perfect, but it lacks the imperfect groove that makes dub, completely.
Same goes for Jazz. Yes it has all the elements, but it's still not jazzy.
It's like... A singer who can sing every note without missing one note, still won't be able to sing jazz as good as let's say Tom Waits. He has jazz in his voice, even when he can't really sing
That's a good point. I agree with you, actually. Sadly, I think it is unavoidable when trying to combine jazz with something so precise as electronic music. You lose a little bit of that feeling there. I still think it is perfectly enjoyable, though. If I want some hardcore jazz, I'll throw on some Blue Note.
