What are the Dead? Jazz prepared the way for Psychedelic Rawk & Gittar Rawk 'cetera in terms of Improvisation. Coltrane to bYRdS directly, f'rinstance. Summa them fellas in Cream knew a little about Jazz - fer 'nother instance...Art School in England - soon as the Draft ended, so on...It characterized Psychedelia - & SanFrancisco particularly that people of different backgrounds tried each other out - Jerry was Bluegrass, Phil Lesh 'Academic' - so forth...Jimi's drummer Mitch Mitchell brought the Jazz to the revolution in Rawk Drumming that Keith Moon had only just made (Ginger Baker inbetween actually) - whilst Jimi was deeply saturated in Blues, Soul & Rawk'n'Roll - & that was one happy musical compatibility - oh yes...Which isn't to say the Dead weren't humbled to be on the bill w/ Miles - they had the sense to be...

The Dead were a touring country rock and blues band. They lasted too long for their whole catalog to hold up. They also lasted long enough to genre bend and "defy categorization." But they are essentially Pigpen covering "Good Morning Little School Girl."
Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:07pm
doctorjazz:

The Dead were "jazz" in the sense that free improvisation is jazz. They did indeed assimilate many genres, sometimes in the same tune. They were indeed great sometimes, awful others (took major risks, fell short sometimes as a result. Also as a result of not having great vocalists. Also as a result of heavy drug indulgence).

Experiments often fail - but to never experiment is total failure. That's how the 60s are different from now. True in Jazz w/ Free Jazz as well - but Jazz being the African-American Classical Music - the code obviously is to have some damn chops. & Improvise. - & Swing. Also.
Wynton Marsalis - who has been a Straight-Ahead blowhard & stuff - made the point that when we talk of 'Fusion' - Rawk is a branch on the Jazz Tree - historically speaking - so how can it be 'Fusion' w/ itself? I think - people fear Jazz - are intimadated by 'not understanding' it - as if it's a problem in Maths, not Art...but really if you play in a Blues-based form & get really proficient - it's 'Jazz' by default almost...Jazz is too small a word for too much, really - which Coltrane made some comments about in his time...Serious drug use was never an excuse for lack of proficiency in Jazz - & I think that's a Cultural demarcation. Like the Northern Beatles aspiring to Art, & the Middle Class Stones aspiring to Bohemia - the frankly Black & White racial situation in America - Black Artists dressing up - & White middle class kids dressing down...so on so on...I mean - I'm not a Dead Hater - but if King Crimson had played as much as the Dead - it woulda been pretty tight! - but that wasn't the point to Dead culture ( - & a Culture it was!!)

Speaking only for myself, once I outgrew being wowed by the Dionysian malarkey, Jim Morrison only made sense to me when I decided he was kidding...about everything. What a joker!

Aside from Morrisons' pomposity and bullshit, the Doors were a pretty good band, wrote some good songs, had good musicianship. Oh, Ray Manzarek was a big asshole, too.

Isn't Manzarek dead? He was the one always promoting Morrison and that Dionysian bullshit. I heard nobody liked him, cos he never shut up. But he would always bring the best drugs.

Yeah Ray was the 'rational' â™’Aquarius apologist.

Good gosh! Manzarek died almost three years ago! How come I feel like I've heard him promoting one thing or another on the radio sometime during the past couple years?

Billy Martin also did some minimal avant improv stuff w/ DJ Olive they ended at Bonnaroo through Billy's connections. Fun, cheeky stuff!

Billy Martin is a top-tier drummer. Very versatile, too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:42pm
coelacanth:

Manzarek seemed like he was nearly as pompous as Morrison - maybe more so. Morrison was just wilder, and an egomaniac.
...but they, the group, was straight up groundbreaking.

i consider la woman a perfect album, though it's not my favorite doors album. the first one is my fave, though it's far from perfect - just because "the end" is so magnificent, and a few other songs are excellent too.
"soft parade" has just one even passable song: "wild child".

Morrison was a drop-in-any-old-time kinda guy when Joan Didion lived just off Sunset. She said he'd come in to look at himself in her mirrors, amazed that he looked so great after being a flabby schlub his whole childhood. It was speed that did it, she surmised, and she'd know. Her own drug use crops up a lot in a recent biography I read last year.

Doors music without the personalities & lyrics is pretty good jazz.
RevRab, Sky Saxon was punk. Never bothered me that every song was the same.
