Jazz punk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jazz punk is an odd genre of punk where lyrics are the most essential part of the music's punk image.
These and most other artists included in this rare genre are influenced and inspired mostly by John Scofield and Jimmy Smith, but of course The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, The Dead Kennedys and The Misfits.
The first band to mix jazz and punk was New York's Television.
Jazz punk appeared in the middle of the 80's before it disappeared to have its second break-through in the beginning of the 90's to fade again as quickly as it begun.
The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower is one of the most well-known modern day Punk bands that strongly incorporates Jazz into their music.
