Hell, there's no sin in listening to old jazz that's loud and angry. Go put in "Bitch's Brew" by Davis and just listen to it descend into mad grooves and angry strange funk. Or put in "Sayeeda's (sp?) Song Flute" by Coltrane on repeat for an hour or so and slowly go mad.

On a related topic, has anyone else here gotten into Jazz after getting into IDM-ish techno? Cuz I know I never would've picked up a Miles Davis album otherwise. Unless I were stoned. But I think my track record of buying things cuz they sound good WHEN I'M SOBER is pretty good. Anyway. It's also be interesting to hear someone's opinion of the really experimental stuff by Squarepusher and Spacetime Continuum (ok, so Jonah Sharp isn't THAT experimental) who comes from an entirely jazz-oriented listening background. I don't suppose anyone on here fits that bill?
