The jazz creator has a masterplan – how jazz shaped rock

The sax being used as the lead instrument in Bill Haley and other rock n’ roll hits was an early example of how jazz influenced rock. In the 60s, many bands like King Crimson Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, and Cream, used jazz phrasing and chords with rock vocals. Long rock pieces like “Light My Fire” by the Doors were inspired by John Coltrane’s extended jazz improvisations.

In the late 60s the two genres met up and melded as jazz fusion. Miles Davis combined electric sounds with the smooth improvisations of jazz on the landmark album Bitches Brew. Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Tom Waits all took cards out of the jazz deck.

 But the influence flowed both ways. This week we explore the fluid border between Jazz and Rock. And in the process showcase one of our greatest paino talents – Mark Edwards from his days in Trip Hop++ band Cactus Rain in the early 90s to the present day.

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
