be prepared for some crazy **** but eventually if you stay with it very worth it
also I guess that was Don Van Vliet, totally different guy - my bad
I do play avant garde jazz so that won't be an issue.
What kind of avant garde jazz are we talking about here? Probably my favorite band is Medeski Martin and Wood, who often get slapped with that designation.
Actual avant garde jazz. Think Ornette Coleman, later Charles Mingus, and musicians you'd pretty much only know if you were a jazz musician
I am not a jazz musician and I know both of them and have some of their their albums (two for Mingus and the Ken Burns collection for Coleman). I just think classification is not ubiquitous and I was trying to get a baseline for your particular reference.
I'm so glad. Certainly don't mean to be a snob. I thought you might know Ornette and Mingus. As for what I do in avant garde jazz, those are pretty accurate stylistic references. Didn't want to get too esoteric on you but most people don't have a clue about this stuff.
