Well I'm unqualified to pick then because I don't like metal or jazz.  (I know, blasphemy! :o)

Then you'd be terrified to know that in the very beginning of metal, there was jazz. Black Sabbath originally was a band called "Earth" and "Polka Tulk". They played jazz & blues. Tony Iommi himself is a blues guitarist by conviction. When Tony Iommi detuned his guitar on "Master of Reality", heavy metal was born. But listen to Black Sabbath pieces like "Symptom of the Universe", "Into the Void", "After Forever", and you'll notice that it's all bluesy/jazzy (the final movement of "Symptom of the Universe" is a piano/strummed guitar jazz piece, "Planet Caravan" is a jazzy/bluesy ballad, "The Wizard" is a blues piece complete with harmonica, etc.).
