Music Tuesday #075: Tank Tactics

Jazz, one of the music styles where knowledge helps to understand it.  Which, as some would say,  makes it hard to enjoy.  I like jazz even without the required knowledge to fully appreciate it.  A good ten years ago I discovered an adjacent music genre which is even more difficult to get into, which for me is as attractive as a puzzle: I have to solve it.  So this time I bring you Panzerballett,  The best way to introduce them is through a rendition of the well known jazz standard Take Five by the Dave Brubeck quartet.

To remind you, the original:

And this is what a jazz metal band makes of it.

Jazz-metal sits between those two worlds, almost adjacent to Djent, and is very much a fringe genre in the progressive metal world.  I like weird, so bring it on!
