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!

with a fictional backstory that they are from the late sixties. 

That part is really weird, I don't get what the point is....

Dream Theater is one of my favs too, Awake sounds surprisingly "audiophile like" in sound quality for a metal recording. I still listen to plenty of Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Emerson Lake & Palmer etc. as well, but more and more jazz as the years go on.

I should have made my handle progrock, but I think it was taken already.

@curiousjim

Right? the tunes are catchy enough, and we are familiar with them enough to listen to the whole album, and then the sound quality is excellent enough to listen to them over again!

 

@gerdessc

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.

Man, I only recognize one of those names in that list.
