Yep, Heavy Weather should appeal to many of those into jazz  pop; whereas, I would say that  I Sing the Body Electric and the debut would be more likely to appeal to more adventurous people who enjoy progressive music.



but you wouldn't call it poppy...

I would call Heavy Weather poppy, not I Sing the Body Electric.  It was a good album for you to mention here for its pop jazz-rock sensibilities.

Then I was agreeing with you.

before jazz rock appeared as the main term for jazz fused with rock, a lot of rock with jazz-based solos was labelled in the UK music press as rock-jazz (beit for a short period). Amongst those listed included BST, Chicago, Timebox and even Colosseum. Indeed listen to a major developmental period for rock in 1970, and there was a lot of examples of bands experimenting with allsorts of music before settling on what they became familiar for. For instance Patto's first two album had Ollie Hassall playing jazz solo breaks - especially when playing the vibes; the second (the Irish originals) Skid Row album  34 hours had some jazz guitar solos by Gary Moore and that other Irish spin-off out of Taste, Stud, had a couple of jazz-based instumentals tucked away amongst the straighter rock of their eponymous album.
