Jazz Sabbath plays jazz renditions of Black Sabbath songs; claiming to be the original writers of those songs and accusing Black Sabbath of plagiarism.\r\n\r\nThe band first appeared in a mockumentary on YouTube in February 2020. In this short film band leader Milton Keanes (Adam Wakeman) was interviewed by actor Robert Powell about the early days of Jazz Sabbath, their cancelled debut album and the alleged theft of their songs by Black Sabbath. This album was later released as an actual album on April 10, 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jazz-sabbath-2","title":"Jazz Sabbath","description":"\u003cp\u003eAccording to the liner notes Jazz Sabbath was a jazz trio formed in 1968. This self-titled debut album should have been released in 1970, but disaster struck when bandleader Milton Keanes suffered a massive heart attack and the label decided to cancel the release. Shortly after, a fire destroyed the label warehouse, erasing the album from existence. Upon his release from hospital many months later, Milton found out that a band from Birmingham, conveniently called 'Black Sabbath', had since released two albums containing metal versions of what he claims were his songs. With the recently discovered master tapes remixed, Milton set out to prove that the heavy metal band worshipped by millions around the world are in fact nothing more than musical charlatans, thieving the music from a bedridden, hospitalized genius. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn truth; longtime Black Sabbath\/Ozzy Osbourne keys and guitar player Adam Wakeman (as Milton Keanes), together with 6 other top musicians who only go by their 60's pseudonyms as well, delivers an album with 7 Sabbath songs, reimagined as classic jazz tracks that surprised both the metal and the jazz critics (in a good way). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracklisting: \u003cbr\u003eA1.

Through a vicious cycle of personal tragedy and plagiarism the songs intended to change the jazz world ended up giving birth to a much darker sound. However, the songs on those 2 albums were not the first ones the band recorded. These are. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1968 Jazz Sabbath were an instant hit on the UK jazz scene. It wasn't long until they were offered a record deal. They spent weeks in the studio recording the tracks that got the heaviest reactions at their live shows until they captured their live energy on tape. Unfortunately, the label told them the songs were too experimental and the whole album 'just a labyrinth of noise'. The label manager said there was no way this album could be a hit and told them to record some of their 'easier' tracks instead. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2 albums that followed still are classics in their own right, but they were not mistaken in thinking they had recorded their best work in 1968. Like the tracks from their 2 albums, these tracks also found their way to the public through that Birmingham band. Whether they copied them from live bootlegs or if they got their hands on the mix, it doesn't matter anymore. Their popularity, even in the crude 'metal' way they were covered, only proves just how monumental these songs were and how record labels often fail to recognize a visionary artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the truth now finally out there and that Birmingham band exposed as the musical charlatans they are, Jazz Sabbath have finally mastered the 1968 tapes to present their best work to the public.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store Day","offers":[{"title":"White LP","offer_id":50512116154699,"sku":"2225994","price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/7428472711980_d2917eba_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727898923"},{"product_id":"the-1968-tapes-2","title":"The 1968 Tapes","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe third album from this British jazz trio that plays (instrumental) jazz interpretations of Black Sabbath songs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blacklake","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50906005373259,"sku":"2230407","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50906005569867,"sku":"2230412","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_641f64fb_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1732862616"},{"product_id":"jazz-sabbath-live-rsd-black-friday-2025-es","title":"Jazz Sabbath Live","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first live recording of longtime Black Sabbath\/Ozzy Osbourne keys and guitar player Adam Wakeman's project Jazz Sabbath. 11 Black Sabbath songs re-imagined as classic jazz tracks.
