I don't know much about jazz rock, but I always wanted to explore it, especially now after listening to Henry Cow's Leg End for the whole past week (for the Prog Fusion album club). I have a feeling it will appeal to me more than prog rock generally does (although there is many overlapping as I understood).

The opening track of Henry Cow's Leg End Nirvana for Mice might be a good example with saxophones improvisational interplay but with intensity and energy that we usually associate with rock. Those of you more knowledgeable in jazz-rock can tell me if this is a good example. However Teenbeat (Reprise) is maybe an even better example. The first one on the jazzier side and this one on the rockier side.
