Thanks for those recommendations! Yep, I didn't make it past early college music classes, which just weren't doing it for me. I got booed out of the room once for suggesting it'd be cool to mix jazz and hip-hop (in 1989). Probably should have gone some place like Berklee but I didn't see that path at the time. I recently discovered multi-instrumentalist Robert Stillman, who opened for The Smile (Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood's side project with Tom Skinner). He played solo tenor saxophone with some kind of looping effect, along with some lo-fi sampling involving multiple lightly-synchronized cassette tapes of himself playing other instruments. Amazing stuff.
