Paul, Jacky,

I'd add James Blood Ulmer, a personal favorite. The album that particularly
comes to mind was with Ronald Shannon Jackson on drums, something about USA
or America in the title, it smokes... I had the good fortune to hear him
live at a club in DC during the 80s, around when the album in mind was
released.

I'd have to go downstairs in the uninsulated part of the building to find
the title, it was 10 below last night, so I'm staying in the heated part of
the building for now.

"Music is far, far older than our species. It is tens of millions of years
old, and the fact that animals as wildly divergent as whales, humans and
birds come out with similar laws for what they compose suggests to me that
there are a finite number of musical sounds that will entertain the
vertebrate brain."
