Give Keith Jarrett's Koln Concert or Pat Metheny's > New Chatauqua a try. I first heard the title track from "New Chatauqua" this summer on WRXT, an album rock station which has, unfortunately, changed its format to contemporary top-40. (ARGGH!) It blew me away; it was so beautiful. I would not have heard it on the other album rock station, WGRQ, which plays mostly heavy metal (double ARGGH!). To me, heavy metal is mindless: bang your head, bang the guitar, bang your fist, etc. (I'll probably get a few flames about that; I have my Halon ready just in case :-) .) I would rather see our kids listen to triple-Z jazz than listen to bands like--dare I mention them?--Twisted Sister, Motley Crue, Judas Priest, and... (heck, I'll spare you and stop here). To sum up: listen to New Chatauqua. It's GOOD STUFF! -- Jim Poltrone (a/k/a Poltr1, the Last of the Raster Blasters) uucp: [decvax,watmath,rocksvax]!sunybcs!acsgjjp ARPAnet, CSnet: acsgjjp%buffalo@CSNET-RELAY
