Jazz Sabbath III

I’ve been send some details of a third album from the “Jazz Sabbath” band entitled “Jazz Sabbath: the 1968 tapes”.  It’s due for release on 29 of November.  The first two albums were a lot of fun, and I can’t wait to hear the third one.  I haven’t heard a pre-release copy, but when I […]

Jazz Sabbath Vol 2

Coming on two years ago now, the album “Jazz Sabbath” was released.  I want to say by Adam Wakeman (ha?).  It was an interesting album – very appropriately named because it’s basically an album of Black Sabbath covers done in Jazz.

Adam Wakeman’s Masterclass
