I have a particular style of jazz I like. It's from the late sixties, early seventies, very much an eccentric, kinda psychedelic kind of jazz, like Pharoah Sanders or Sun Ra. Actually, Sun Ra along with Brian Wilson would be my hero, if I had to pick someone. Also, Sun Ra was very influential in the sense of making so many records. All his records are like documents for a certain period.
Every album sounds different.
What I like about Pharoah Sanders, Don Cherry is that these people do what they want and they make things that just sound absurd work together. Also, I especially like the very simple, very repetitious backings of jazz. On the other hand, jazz has also produced some of the most appalling music ever. Some people think we're kitsch. When you listen to easy listening, kitsch, etc.
