we need to start a thread or something where suggestions can be managed.. and you all decide which ones I'll bring to the team. Since they are not like other teams... and don't spend a great deal of time here like some teams have members do... I have taken the unofficial team position as proposer.. and instigator... you all can help me by giving me good logical suggestions... no offense to MeR but that Jamiroquai suggestion doesn't fit the scope and era we are working on... time to catch up on the real J-R/F innovators and movers and shakers.. then maybe later the ones who might have borrowed from them.

unofficially closing this thread for suggestions/discussion... making a thread for that... where you guys can decide what bands you think are pressing to be considered by the two of them.

Well if you're going to add Herbie (and basically I have only minor objections to that), better get someone on the Keith Jarrett shift.

did he make jazz-rock solo albums? cause the only stuff i have by him is straight jazz, and i know he wasnt too keen on electric instruments and jazz-rock in general, at least while he was playing with Miles Davis...

if he did, then there's no reason why he shouldnt be here.

I'm really not for this: include all kinds of exiting music of whatever genre. Until this place changes its name to Progressive Music Archives, I'm sticking with wanting to add artists with some relation to (progressive) rock, not just any relation to popular music in any time.

Just like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock makes perfect sense. They're both important figures and pioneers of progressive jazzrock-fusion (HH, also progressive electronic) and made plenty of essential albums in this genre. Coltrane and Brubeck (+ Jamiroquai) are not/did not.

BTW: If you haven't: Listen to Sextant, (or Crossings, Headhunters)!

Bbtw: Rockit is pure genious!

Don't believe in me

Come on guys ... you expect us to take you seriously with adding Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock ... how about giving us the same kind of respect?

take your time... Martin might be a bit melted down from all the attention we've given them hahahha. Plus I've dropped the recently added Steely Dan in his lap, LOL

we added them, but were sort of clear we thought J-R was the best fit. Not sure it fits the scope of what they want J-R to be though. Which is cool with me. Xover works just as well. Fits J-R musically... Xover in what people see outside of the music.

Send it to me.. and if Martin wants to handle the addition himself.. I'll pass it on to him.

I haven't... but have never heard them associated with jazz. .or fusion... much less prog. We are delving into 'classic' era J-R/F groups here anyway. Following a linear line of reasoning with proposals, musically, and time-line wise.

I'll check them out though....
