flamingjimmy Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Sometimes Jazz can be very pretentious indeed, so what? If you enjoy it, listen to it. As a prog rock fan, I can't really throw any stones anyway, I might hit my own house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 John McLaughlin, born in Doncaster? Or indeed Allan Holdworth from Bradford. Both amazing. There's also Derek Bailey who was a internationally famous jazz guitarist from Sheffield, but his avant playing does nowt for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Holdsworth is indeed excellent, but Bradford isn't in South Yorkshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most music genres, it can be pretty nebulous and mean different things to different people. What I mean when I say it is rock music that is extremely technical, often using non-standard time signatures, scales and chord progressions, and complex concept albums. Radiohead and Pink Floyd aren't really my bag, but yeah they probably could be described as prog rock. Who knows really, it's so hard to draw lines between genres.
