Charlie Mingus

[Beanz]

[Gandalf]

I think Bowie has a Mingus album on his favorite vinyl albums list along with the Velvets, Syd Barrett and others. Disparate artists and you wouldn't just say 'This is one type of music, it is superior to other music'. Then with the Davies and Costello observations you can link 60's pop and punk to jazz as well. That's quite interesting seeing how things connect like that. I actually don't mind Barrett era Floyd as his writing is odd and interesting.
