Chicken Train Introduction
 

My username was meant to be arbitrary. I found the Ozark Mountain Daredevils' song after the fact and it's just okay.

Chicken Train - Male - 22

I tend to operate in stints and have not been listening to a lot of music lately. Nevertheless, it's my favorite stint and for various reasons, I can't be involved much with IRL groups. So here I am.

I lean to jazz and classical music, though I have a complex history with many genres.

Welcome to the site. Favorite artists?

Hello.

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.

Hey.
