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!

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. 

@mclinnguy Gojira is the metal band that just played at the Olympics opening ceremony…they are quite heavy but massively talented drummer and unique sound. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is Australian and are blowing up…on tour in USA soon, and in several cities they are playing with a symphony orchestra. Some of the others are pretty niche, though Myles Kennedy is a bit of a virtuoso. 
 

PS Jazz Sabbath slaps.
