ninelives Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) I had a boyfriend in the late eighties who loved all the New Age Jazz (another term, lol) and we saw Pat Metheny Band 7, maybe 8 times. We also saw Jean Luc Ponty, Spyro Gyra (maybe 10 times) and a pianist i loved, David Lanz, to name a few. Very relaxing music to me. David Lanz is good too! Spyro Gyra I'm picky about - again for my ears it's too pop. I've seen Pat many times too. Weather Report is also a group I like. Heavy Weather is a great album.

dazedcat Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 "I like Mahavishnu Orchestra. Have you listened to Soft Machine?" Yeah they were a pretty great band. They don't get the credit they deserve either. They were doing things musically that no other band in "rock music" was doing at that time.

Weather Report is also a group I like. Heavy Weather is a great album. I agree Spyro Gyra sound a bit pop. I still like them. Funny, much of this music could qualify as "elevator music" too i fear Ever hear David Lanz with Paul Spear? Great together. I will admit, haven't listened to this kind of music in quite a few years. Time to dig out some old CD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 There have threads about different, specific bands and I just figured there should be one for the genre itself. There is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) There have threads about different, specific bands and I just figured there should be one for the genre itself. This is for all discussions about all bands and all "attempts" at progressive rock/art rock/fusion. I guess talk about your favorites, recommendations. Even for those who dislike the genre, I would love to hear you as well. We can even go into the Rock and Roll HOF's hate for Prog........ Let get started.... in 21/8 time! Rush, Yes and Dream Theatre are my fave Proggers !! 21/8 time, hmmm 21 quavers to the bar lol !! and not the crisp variety Edited July 2, 2009 by leddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe (Liverpool) Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 When I bought my Mahavishnu albums they were classed as "Modern Jazz" is this just another loose term? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity listened to then (was in need of new inpit). Great band with a very Yes-like vibe to their sound. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyZephead Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yeah, learned of them through the bass player in our band who is friends with Ed Bernard (guitarist/multi instrumentalist of Druckfarben) . Ed was heavily influenced by Yes and it's a shame that they are not more well known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1975NQ Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 4 hours ago, The Pagemeister said: Interesting timing that you should post this today. I'm just now getting into KC and just yesterday hunted Amazon for a doc on the band. And today I see your post - thanks for posting btw. I'm def watching this when it comes to streaming. This past week, I've listened to Lizard, Larks, Discipline and the Fripp solo LOG. I like them all (Lizard the most), and I'm sure those 4 will keep me happy for a while to come. I did listen to Red and loved it - clearly an amazing record - but don't think I'll listen to it a lot as it feels really negative to me. I try to avoid spending too much time with negative music as I get older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
