listening list

Luciano Berio - Sequenzas
Ornette Coleman - Beauty is a Rare Thing
System of a Down - SOAD
DJ Spooky - Optometry
Skin on Skin - The Mongo Santamaria Anthology

It was quite remarkable to listen to Berio's Sequenzas and Ornette Coleman's free jazz in quick succession. This is not the nice sensibly melodic music we are all comfortable with, but it is pretty amazing to listen to. Notes jumping around all over the place like Jackson Pollack.
