sure, as a full-blown genre the term is a bit of a stretch (aren't they all, really?), but here's what I'm thinking about:

John Zorn (ie, Spy vs Spy, the Masada stuff)

The Lounge Lizards

some of James Chance & the Contortions material

a lot of the projects Skerik is associated with: Critters Buggin, Garage a Trois, Crack Sabbath, the Dead KennyG's, etc.)

Any others? Would love some help in compiling a larger list...

Most of the best examples of garage-y jazz would probably come from B-flicks, mostly 60s spy movies like Fantastic Argoman, Mission Stardust, Diabolik, and the like. Another good example would be in Teenage Tupelo, the song "One More Hit" during D'lana's dream sequence. Aside from stuff like that, I can't really think of any actual bands that try to make that kind of music. Methinks there's a void to fill.

The King Sound Quartet (Mick Collins, Tim Kerr, Alex Cuervo & Stephanie Paige Friedman) did a great cover of Sun Ra's "Space Is the Place" on The Get-Down Imperative LP.

Crud, I just remembered this:

MC5's "Gold" is more jazzy than "LA Blues".

The James Taylor Quartet - One Way Street

The James Taylor Quartet - The Cat (It's a cover version of, maybe, Jimmy Smith Quartet.)

RJFait replied to Reverend Stevee Ray's discussion the Beatles ... why NOT ?
"I don't hate the Beatles, I just think the bulk of their work was gutless pop. At some point in the middle they started getting better drugs or something and put out a few good records. Then, they went right back to gutless pop."
