Steely Dan
Jethro Tull ( "This Was" )
Blodwyn Pig
Weather Report
James Brown ( yeah sometimes )
Earth, Wind + Fire
The Guess Who ( some Randy Bachman stuff )
Bachman Turner Overdrive ( again )

Who else can you guys think of? Tanky.

da Buzzherd

Grateful Dead - Blues for Allah era
Santana - Caravanserai to Barboletta
Elvis Costello - My Flame Burns Blue
Jack Bruce
Soft Machine
Robert Wyatt
Paul Weller - well, more acid jazz

Forgot Soft Machine, and I've got one of theirs ...
true acid jazz. Funkadelic qualifies there too.

Santana, yup. Dead, a stretch, but yeah.

Weller, huh? Makes sense, I forgot his The Style Council.

Forgot Joe Jackson's excellent experiments too.

Costello, 'cuz his flame is Diana Krall.

Costello has recorded with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band; he also appeared on the Mingus documentary "Weird Nightmare', as has Keith Richards and Charlie Watts. He also did an album of his Burt Bacharach cowrites, entitled "The Sweetest Punch" with Bill Frisell and Cassandra Wilson, which was based on the Painted From Memory album.

I would also add that he, Costello, did a live album in 1995 with Bill Frisell, and that Lee Konitz has appeared on North, which was Costello's attempt at an ECM album.

I also forgot to mention that a lot of John Martyn's catalogue can be classified as jazz-rock, or folk-jazz.

Furthermore, though I have none of his cds, what about Bill Bruford's Earthworks ?.

If you lean more to the Jazz part of Jazz rock, try Miles Davis. The following rock hard:
Live Evil - my personal fave
Black Beauty - Live at the Fillmore West
Dark Magus - Live at Carnegie Hall (at least three guitars on this one)
Live at the Fillmore East (March 7, 1970)

T@3

Duh ..........Early King Crimson, 1969 - 1974

And ...... The Watts/keltner project

Terrifying - The Rolling Stones

I've been told Ian Dury & The Blockheads are Jazz/rock, I don't know, I've always thought them too unique to be labelled...?

No - that's jazz fusion. Fusion involves former jazz artists electrifying their music.

I would include Miles, John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Lifetime, Pat Metheny Band, Headhunters (Herbie Hancock), Weather Report, and David Axelrod-produced Canonball Adderley, inter alia as fusion.

I do like Live Evil, Black Beauty, and the Fillmore albums. Dark Magus is too impenetrable for its own good. Agharta and Pangea are a lot better. Though Jack Johnson is my personal favourite Miles fusion album, with Bitches Brew second, and Tutu third.

Ai No Corrida was written by Chaz Jankel, a former Blockhead

Allman Brothers - particularly Elizabeth Reed

Good Grief ... you all are right, I forgot some:

King Crimson
Giles+Giles ( definitely a must-buy )
Mahavishnu
The Allman Bros
Lighthouse

some Paul Simon

"The idea came from the stereotype of the dirty old man, cruising the streets in his black sedan and enticing little girls by offering them candy. Also, my mother showed me this anti-drug pamphlet that depicted the drug pusher as a 'friendly stranger' so I put those things together and came up with 'Vehicle'".

Fair enough, tomcasagrande. I agree Fusion is its own thing, but I've always felt "Jazz Rock" was a pretty loose genre. Steely Dan as jazz rock? While they are tasty, their work is the opposite of true jazz - the spirit of improvisation since, by reputation, they perfect everything in studio.

Just trying to spread the electric Miles love. Agree with your thoughts on Dark Magus, too. It's pretty deep.

i think i know what rock is...and i definitely know what jazz is...i still don't know what jazz rock is...

Yes, true, Mahavishnu are more jazz fusion than jazz rock. But what is fusion anyway? The joining of disparate influences. The fusion of jazz with rock influences or in Jeff beck's case, the fusion of rock with jazz influences.

Anyway, I do think that Hendrix, had he lived, would have tried jazz fusion in the early to mid seventies, what with his experimental/improvisational nature. He did after jam with John McLaughlin.

Jazz/rock.....Rock with a good bit of improvisation incorporated ? Like this ? (freestyling starts about 3 mins 50.......there's about 25 secs of freezing & jumping between 3.25 & 3.50)
