Yesspaz that was me with the Phil comment.

While I do not agree that Yes plays jazz (I See You is a bastardized jazz sound, and Silent Wings is not jazz), you still cannot ignore the fact that everyone is talented.

To me jazz is three guys in a smoky bar, not Return To Forever. I've seen them, and even Romantic Warrior (the song) is still not straight jazz.

Spiral Architect plays metal. They have a bassist who is incredible.

Just because it's jazz means it's hard to play?

Yes does not play jazz, true - but Yes CHOOSES not to.
