Furious jazz rock?

8roundcapacity · 10-19-2009, 01:29 PM

this Last Exit stuff is cool!!! thanks any other suggestions? this is along the lines of what I'm looking for, maybe a little more accessible with some swing to it.

Maybe some Canterbury scene? Gong, National Health, Caravan, Egg?
Then try some Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nektar, Magma, 'Medeski, Martin & Wood', Hiromi Uehara's band, Allan Holdsworth's stuff, Pekka Pohjola, Cynic, Galactic, Dennis Chambers stuff, Screaming Headless Torsos, Platypus... uff, and many more. Sorry for those that were already recommended to you. Some of them might also not be considered as jazz fusion (that's how I understand furious jazz rock), but prog rock, but nevertheless, check them out. For more recommendations, just say.

I recommend Iron Path, their studio release. Their live stuff is pretty insane so its harder to listen to.

You may also like another Laswell project, Arcana.

One of my favourite albums of all time, Arc Of The Testimony
Project feat. Laswell, Tony Williams on drums (His last album), Buckethead, Pharoah Sanders

EDIT - You might also like Sonny Sharrock's solo stuff, Ask the Ages or Guitar. All in a similar vein.

There exists a brilliant little ep by an obscure band named "Every Man and His Llama". The title of this ep is "Bigger than Frogs". Whilst it may not be in production any longer, should one be able to find it as a download, it would certainly satisfy those 'furious jazz rock' cravings to which you refer. Excellent, excellent ep. Top grade medicine.

Billy Cobham's "Spectrum" album is great
Dysrhythmia's "Pretest" and "Barriers and Passages" for some more recent material.
A lot of King Crimson.
Return to Forever's "Romantic Warrior"
Also, you might want to check out some of Frank Zappa's more jazzy pieces like "Zoot Allures" and "Inca Roads".
And as mentioned before, pretty much anything from The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Particularly "The Inner Mounting Flame".

And if someone can help me out, I can't remember the name of a John McLaughlin album that my grandfather showed me, but I think it's from the 80s, and its cover has a picture of John, and it's mostly white, I think.
