Oh, how I adore you, cdn! Soft Machine, for goodness sake. King Crimson, too, I'll bet, and of course the Dixie Dregs. Remember UK (with Bill Bruford, John Wetton, Alan Holdsworth, and Eddie Jobson)? Oh, I'm getting all nostalgic and schmoopy.
Have you heard The Bad Plus? They do some of the most interesting and innovative stuff I've heard in years. Also Medeski, Martin & Wood -- love them. You've probably been listening to Dave Weckl's stuff over the years, right? Love that, too.
