Try this. Shaun Baxter

There's not a lot as far as previews (30 second or so clips from 3 songs) but he's the only one in the Jazz Metal genre (as far as I know)

Wow. That was actually pretty damn cool. I might have to order one of his cds!

ArchAngel1024 · 01-11-2008, 03:47 PM

I still haven't (I'm only 16, and no job XD)

If you do, Let me know how the rest of it sounds.

^ I feel your pain bro. Only 17 with no job here.

Argh, forgot about this thread! Anyway, as far as "jazz metal" is concerned, there's always fusion-y progressive death metal bands like Cynic, Alarum, Atheist and Aghora to check out. There are a lot of heavier projects from the Zorn circle too, like the improv noise band Painkiller, the kletzmer/prog band Rashanim and Marc Ribot's band with Trevor Dunn ex Mr Bungle, Asmodeus. Plus, if you haven't already heard it, Fredrik Thordendal's solo album Sol Niger Within should be right up your alley

As far as Shaun Baxter goes, I've never checked out his music, but he's a regular columnist for the UK's Guitar Techniques magazine and he's probably the best contributor they have. Regardless of topic, he explains things in language that anyone can understand, and his playing on the included CSs is always impeccable. Guthrie's album was pretty cool, so I'll have to look into Shaun's, too.

Youtube is sorely lacking in clips I wanna post, but give me a day or two, I'll come up with something!

Okay, I hate hate HATE posting links to Myspace, but this particular rythym section doesn't feature in any of his youtube videos, so... BAM! Wayne Krantz!

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. I'd recommend Shawn's album to anyone who's into fusion. It's a superb piece of work. Imagine if Nuno Bettencourt went back to school and studied bebop for 20+ years and you'll have a pretty good idea what he sounds like. Apparently he has a new album in the works, but the only thing that's surfaced so far (it's been 'in progress' for years now, and he sucks at updating his website) is one song on the Eric Roche tribute album, which was actually very cool, and bodes well for the future...

Oh, and Naked City are nuts! I've got a 'John Zorn plays Ennio Morricone' album featuring Vernon Reed, Bill Frissell and Diamanda Galas amongst others that's a completely insane listen...

I enjoy this thread. DDDorian, you need to update this more often.

DDDorian · 03-20-2008, 11:08 PM

Ah, crap! Totally forgot about this thread (I tend to do that a lot, so if you ever asked me a question on the forums somewhere and didn't got an answer, I didn't intentionally snub you). Gimme a day or so and I'll be back with the goods

It's cool, man. I figured you had forgotten about it. Could you give me some names of some modern players similar to Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Mike Stern, Bill Frisell, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and the like? I've been getting into more contemporary stuff recently.
