Hi Mystyler and all caveat emptor lovers

"Cognitive Dissonance" would be a great name for a modern jazz band. smile
It sort of reminds me of another great phrase ..."Gestalt Shift". This would
be a great name too.

And it doesn't have to be jazz - that brings on think-misalignment.
It could even happen in country music! I'm a big fan of the USA's
The Cleverlys ...
Ahh yes; one of my alltime favourite band names was coined by one SJ Perelman, who was a scriptwriter for the Marx Brothers' classic earlier films.

This was, 'Chalky Aftertaste and his Musical Poltroons'! cool

A common format for band names at that time was 'So and so and his whatevers', e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_big_bands

Another favourite band name was 'Alberto y Lost Trios Paranoias', a 1970s Brit pisstake band.

Then there was Poly Styrene, lead singer of 1970s Britpunk band X-Ray Spex...

However, for sheer genius in pisstake song composition and performance, The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band is unsurpassed, IMHO. Their 3-CD 'Cornology' collection is worth seeking out.
