A lot of "out" or "experimental" music that came after that 60's music was
at least influenced by it.  Maybe you don't listen to that stuff, but a lot
of the artists that you admire probably have.  Nothing ever springs to the
surface without any context.  The 60's out jazz has it's roots in earlier
music as well.  It's a continuum...
