I'm sorry, but I can't let you get away with that...

The music from Excalibur was for the most part lifted from Wagner and Orff.
That music from the battle scenes (with the choral group in the background)
is Carmina Burana, by Carl Orff.  I agree that it's great music, but it's
hardly in the category of jazz by any name.  Perhaps there's a jazz version
on that album by Jeff Lancaster (I haven't heard the album, but it sounds
like it's worth looking up).  I don't mean to knock jazz -- it's one of my
favorite forms of music -- but let's keep our classifications (no pun
intended) straight.
