Swinging on the ride cymbal during slow parts and adding fusion w**kery to songs once in a while won't make a metal band a jazz metal band. I doubt more than a handful true examples of the subgenre even exist.


Of those in the list, Fredrik's SD, Shining, and Zu are the only ones I'd consider jazz metal.

Definitely felt conflicted between Cynic and Atheist, but decided on Cynic because the new Atheist album was a regression to their older thrash based sound. 

Cynic's Traced in Air was incredible.

If Atheist had released an album that was better and even latin-jazzier than Elements... man. I'd be one happy dude.

Intronaut, just ahead of Cynic and Yakuza.

Finaly a poll not with PT or DTSmile Strictly from the list An Endless Sporadic for me, a young and very talented band, but are a lot more bands coming from this side of jazz metal, just check out Xtreme Measures from 2004 selftitled, just simply amazing or canadians Grey Matter - Long Distance Singer...  - 2000 among others

I don't see Zu as metal so I'm not going to vote for them.

Ephel Duath on the other hand...I will vote for.

Oh, also have you all heard of the band Alarum? They play a Jazz/Fusion-Metal style similar to Cynic or Athiest. Personally I think they are a great undiscovered jem in this style.

Zu by only the slightest margin over Shining.
 
Cynic and Athiest are great but seem more influenced by 70s jazz fusion than by the 60s jazz that I prefer.
 
I see that Yakuza is included here... After seeing them live I don't know thats what I would call them. Apart from having a sax in the band there really isn't anything jazzy about them. Structurally their music takes more from world music traditions than it does from jazz. While Jazz is incorperated into the music to some extent it seems to be more on a surface level than many of the other bands listed. However I have not heard their most recent work so maybe they are more jazz informed now? If so I might be inclined to buy a CD.

Cynic of course, atheist a distant second though.

I'd say they're not really metal at all based on the vast majority of their work. I might be able to see it for the last album, but even then I'd say not.

ANYWAY, from the list I'd pick Cynic just over Meshuggah and Zu.
