Jay--

My tastes are much like yours, though I am clearly an undereducated  
listener.

I remember traipsing across campus in winter 1967-68 in the snow to  
see Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha and Ali Akbar Khan play in a 500-seat  
hall. It was the same time I was buying my first jazz albums: Miles  
Smiles, A Love Supreme, and Forest Flower.

Beethoven, Cage, Stravinsky, et al came a little later.
