A Jazz for Proggers section is a great idea, I'd include Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi albums alog with the rest of the usual suspects. |
Other jazz albums that might please the ear of a prog rock listener's ears, might be some PAT METHENY's albums ("Wichita..." with MAYS) and RALPH TOWNER's works ("Blue Sun" f.ex.).

If you are ti include Ralph Towner than you might want to include Oregon! Classic acoustic fusion music of the 70's.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

Yep! I have heard only one OREGON album, which was good. I have found mostly Ralph's solomaterial from finnish libraries... Some of his works are very elitistic, but some are aslo "nice and accessible". Two titles I mentioned before have synths and great guitarwork in them, so they sound little "proggish".

Here goes Joren again!!!
But you are right, though, that he should be included in this future probable section jazz for progheads.

If ANYONE is jazz for progheads, then it's ZORN. Especially if you like Zappa, Beefheart, and Patton's projects! (Zorn produced Bungles first album and he released Patton albums on his Tzadik label)
Of course Coltrane is amazing as well!

On a completely different note , I just opened a thread on Jan Dukes De Grey in the main forum! My latest find , and I will register the claim as soon as I run to the golrush office. A 24 carat gem.

There are 3 gods in music: Brian Eno, Mike Patton and John Zorn. Frank
Zappa is ZEUS, and the rest of genius are Semi-gods and heroes!
A time ago I proposed Zorn's addition, yeah!

And above all, is punk

I remember the first time I heard a song by John Zorn, it was from his album Naked City, and I just thought "Wow! It sounds like the speed was edited in the studio, I can't believe these guys play that fast!....."
Anyhoo, I used to like Jazz a lot in the past, stuff like Miles, Coltrane, Bill Evans, Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Wayne Shorter, Weather Report, Sun Ra, etc.... basically all the modal, be-bop, hard-bop, fusion and avant-garde scene.
Now I don't find the urge to listen to those artists anymore, still I find myself heavy influenced by Jazz whenever I'm playing my guitar.
