ah, you must be thinking of his jazz ensemble music.

have you heard his electronic stuff?

btw, the only thing i would take issue with in Andre's excellent post 
would be that nothing _truly_ new has been done in electronic music 
since the seventies, not the 50s. i believe that Tangerine Dream's 
application of improvisational sequencing (and Giorgio Moroder's 
parallel discoveries of both Acid House and Diva House in 1975) is 
significant enough to push that number forward by 20.

but yes, one of my favourite realities of music in the year 2004 is 
that there is truly nothing new, as our musical opportunities are 
limited by the overtone series of western instruments. all that is left 
is to discover what is _good_.
