The jazz/world/avant crossover that took place in the 60's and 70's was great.
Most of my exposure to it has been in a thinkier context. I'm wondering to what extent it took place more generally. Especially in a 'trad' setting.
I'm prompted by a few things. Last night iTunes juxtaposed Umiliani doing his tribal/electronic thing with Sangster on a far more trad excursion, but with weird 'nature' sounds overlaid. Result! Sangster's work generally, I suppose. Earlier today I saw a trad LP with some Satie on it (!?!).
Another example might be Acka Raga (no great shakes to my ears, but still). Some of the Basil Kirchin I have heard might qualify, though much less of an 'everyday' find.
I can think of a few more obvious examples, but I am wondering if anyone has every listened to any - I don't know - Dutch College Swing Band (which I see all the time here) and found there a version of a Stockhausen piece. Or something of that order. Dixie, boogie-woogie, trad, Olde School jazz that has a complete curve-ball track on it.
