Chicken Train

For jazz, John Coltrane, Miles Davis and Duke Ellington. Charles Mingus, a little.

I like Charles Lloyd's Forest Flower, Cecile McLorin Salvant's Dreams and Daggers and Dave Holland's Concert of the Birds. I think I can get into Sam Rivers. Kieth Jarrett's Koln Concert stresses me out.

For classical, Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Chopin's piano music, Mozart's operas, Purcell's Dido and Aeneas. I occasionally look for avant-garde, like Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring or improvisation, any of John Mortensen's work.


I like some of the Grateful Dead albums and think Wucan's Vikarma rivals Led Zepplin IV. It's got better lyrics, anyway.
