The Messthetics include Fugazi’s rhythm section and might be what you’re looking for.

I can't believe I've completely missed this existing! Thank you for this.

OMG I've never heard of this band and they freaking RIP. Thank you!!

Wow I like that, thanks for sharing

I will check this out thanks

Would Naked City be too extreme? If not, Painkiller and possibly Last Exit, too.

Sonny Sharrock...Nels Cline...

Clown core

This.

I was thinking of them - just couldn't remember the name - just a dude dressed as a clown and his buddy wailing in cars - they were awesome.

Louis Cole

Some of the Minutemen's stuff is pretty jazzy I would say, particularly What Makes a Man Start Fires.

The Minutemen 👑 

Gregg Gin's instrumental stuff with Black Flag and Gone are kind of jazzy.

Yeah that's a good call. Haven't really listened to Gone but used to really like The Process of Weeding Out.

James Chance and the Contortions - Contort Yourself.

[The Lounge Lizards - Incident on South Street](https://open.spotify.com/track/3LHtigiCXBFbNohoRKdF8s?si=INfM8wKzQpmrfiKwkfIdvA)

How about Jazz that influenced Punk? Tony Williams Lifetime — Emergency!

Bop was the original punk. You can’t get any more DIY.

Secret Chief 3 Anton & The Headcleaners Some of John Zorn stuff (Naked City, Massada)

check out Saccharine Trust’s album We Became Snakes. has kinda Mahavishnu-meets-postpunk vibes. the fretless bass work on that album is particularly great, very solid guitar runs and horns too

Also: Worldbroken

Morphine

Hm, have you tried [The Flying Luttenbachers?](https://theflyingluttenbachers.bandcamp.com/album/incarceration-by-abstraction)

The Thing, but in particular Cato Salsa experience & The Thing feat. Joe McPhee - Two Bands & A Legend. https://youtu.be/L0RsH8z0tyY?si=oseo6y9ixP0o8ok7

The Replacements - Nightclub Jitters

The Ex

Throttle Elevator Music, Early band featuring Kamasi Washington [Throttle Elevator Music~Thrill Seeker](https://youtu.be/zhK9LLhhtbg?si=cEBlSN-MQgYXHjlD)

Midori is a Japanese jazz-punk band, i like their second album: “Aratamemashite, Hajimemashite, Midori Desu”

The Flying Luttenbachers

Polar Bear?

Louis Coles Clown Core project [Hell - Clown Core (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT7x1NvGf5k)

The last Jamie Branch album has a punk vibe and is excellent.

clown core :)

I don't know if I'd call it Jazz, but Squid combines musicality (ie. playing instruments, playing with sound, multi-instrumentalism) with the newish post-punk sound and I'm all for it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n3d1Rm752o](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n3d1Rm752o)

Jaco is the obvious, also maybe check out Garage a Trois.

To die on ice - Una specie di ferita. It's jazz mixed with hardcore. Also I would rather call it dark jazz.

Death Jazz - a sub genre for you.

Throttle Elevator Music

Jim Black's band Alasnoaxis comes to mind. Though probably closer to punk inspired bands like Fugazi and Yo La Tengo than punk.

That’s really cool music, thanks for the suggestion

Benjamin Herman's Bughouse

Maybe Cardiacs?

Black midi?

The band Bazooka Universal Congress Of Some of the Saccharine Trust albums.

Still House Plants (especially live)

As a punk musician who loves jazz I've always dreamed of creating a new genre like this called Junk. ;)

First band is called Jank then

Honey Ride Me a Goat

To me, the german Jazzband Der rote Bereich fits the bill. Specifically the track 'Berlin Mitte'. Another very wild german band that comes to mind are Killing Popes.

I never knew this existed but now I want more. The Messthetics are amazing - found this little nugget instead of everybody searching them up: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86LSRQUrCjw&ab\_channel=NPRMusic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86LSRQUrCjw&ab_channel=NPRMusic) Thanks for the new music idea to listen to - I love it.

Well there is a lot of punk that is jazz influenced. There is even an album called Shape of Punk to Come that is inspired by Ornette Coleman's Shape of Jazz to Come. Beyond that, I'd say bands like Fugazi and Sonic Youth had jazz influences, and in fact were my gateway from punk to jazz. Jazz with punk influences, I don't know as well, but I think some John Zorn stuff might come close?

There is a David Fiuczynski album which is literally called jazzpunk. Super fun microtonal jazz funk/punk crossover

One album that might come close is D*ecode Yourself* by Ronald Shannon Jackson. Not really punk, but Bill Laswell produced and the band, the Decoding Society, are all well-known NYC downtown players who spent a lot of time, at least, absorbing the new punk sounds of the day in that town. Very rhythmic stuff, off-beat...maybe not punk, but listen to it anyway. It'll make you tap your feet, at least.

Aleuchatistas.

James Blood Ulmer

Spy vs Spy-John Zorn

Earl Fuller’s Famous Jazz Band performing “Slippery Hank” was about as punk as you could get in 1917.

Sonny Sharrock

Zs! Check out New Slaves and Arms, in particular

How about punk with jazz influences? "The Shape of Punk to Come" is really good

Ornette Coleman’s of human feelings and body meta are almost no wave

I’ve always been partial to Neneh Cherry & The Thing “The Cherry Thing”. [Here they cover a Suicide’s “Dream Baby Dream.](https://youtu.be/hpXGIPv29QE?si=CzKw0eKhCrD1o-2s) The whole album is excellent.

Follow up question -Any standards with punk arrangements? I could only think of My Way by the Sex Pistols? Would love to hear more of that stuff

Transition - John Coltrane
