Bop jazz (e.g. miles and parker, early Coltrane, Monk) really puts me in the Zone. The complexity and intricacy of the music keep my brain going even if I'm stuck on a problem, so I rarely get up from my workstation. I just lean back and close my eyes, letting the cascading melodies wash over my mind. A solo or two later and I'm back on the keyboard.
