I don't know if Autechre make jazz or not. I can locate some original jazz
constructions and gestures in ep7 but I like to think they're not falling
into the "jazzy" pit. "Jazzy" elements or atmosphere indicate dead jazz.
Most of what is out there at the moment under the name "jazz" : some truly
pathetic product of too old students of dead teachers. And Spacetime
Continuum, Amon Tobin or Jay Swinscoe are even less interesting : they're
"jazzy", expressing the inferiority complex developed by lowbrows towards
highbrow music. On the contrary, Music is Rotted One Note : hi-tech jazz at
its best, highly conscious of its tech shifts. Otherwise, please ditch the
corpse.
