Also experimental electronics, avantgarde, ‘world music’, some funk, and a bit of indie rock.
I don’t really know anything about mainstream pop, r’n’b, or pop-rock, and especially don’t listen to lyrics so can’t say anything about rap, country, or ‘singer-songwriter’ music except that The Last Poets were the progenitors of rap, and The Velvet Underground said most of the stuff I need to hear. I do know a bit about 90s music like eurodance, and a little of 80s popular music, by the virtue of having grown among it.

Alright, let’s do it.
Sun Ra and His Intergalactic Solar Arkestra — ‘Satellites Are Spinning’ (from the ‘Space Is The Place’ soundtrack) — different from other versions, and my favorite one, coincidentally
Señor Coconut’s ‘Autobahn live at Jazzfest Wien’ and other recordings and performances
Hiroshi Suzuki’s ‘Cat’
John Lurie’s sax from ‘Permanent Vacation’
John Lurie’s soundtrack from ‘Down By Law’ plus ‘Variety’
Wycliffe Gordon’s ‘Sweet Louisiana’
Pharoah Sanders, e.g. at the beginning of Tabla Beat Science’s ‘Axiom Sound System, Musical Freezone’
Jay Leonhart’s ‘It’s Impossible To Sing and Play The Bass’ (and the full album)
holy shit awesome! ill have to carve out some time in the listening room! thanks
As mentioned, I’m not sure this will meet expectation, as I’m not that good with the movements in 50s-60s jazz. This is mostly later stuff that seems vaguely reminiscent. At least Lurie had a bunch of different brass on that double record.
Damn, I’ve nearly forgotten about the cheek man. I gotta collect myself before posting anything other than Miles Davis. I’m afraid it’s not gonna be quite 60s bebop.
