    Posted: November 20 2005 at 11:53

I tried to introduce some good prog to some of my friends that only play (and listen to) jazz music. I let them hear some ELP, Genesis and Gentle Giant, just to give them a taste of what prog is about, and they apparently didn't like it...

It would probably be easier for them to start with some jazz influenced prog... Got any ideas?

 

thanks

Could start them off on Mahavishnu Orchestra. Not really prog, but it's closer to prog than any other type of jazz. Hell, Chick Corea was influenced by Yes when he was doing Return to Forever.

That one too. And Perigeo. And Henry Cow while you're at it.

Or you could try "Paradigm Shift" by Liquid Tension Experiment. That might be too much of a shock though... Gentle Giant might appeal to a jazz fan, though.

There is sub-genre of prog called Jazz-Rock/Fusion.  If you don't mind to look up those fields, you might find there something interesting for your friends and yourself as well

thanks for the nice ideas! keep em coming...

 

btw, dosen't have to be directly influenced it can also be just slightly "jazzy" or jazzy in parts, not necessarily the whole song.... Paradigm shift by the way is SO GOOD, huge thanks for that one! also Biaxident and stuff... liquid tension owns...

Soft Machine (from Third onwards), Brand X, Bruford among others ...

Another really interesting one if you can find it ... is Back Door!

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

You could try something by FOCUS, a Dutch band who play a very interesting blend of rock, jazz and classical music. Some people complain that some of their tracks are filled with too much jamming, but people who like jazz are used to endless intrumental passages. I think jazz-minded people will like the longer jams. I know I do.
