I'll add Nick Cave

"My friend also gave me a modern composer (60's I think) that used drums, electric guitar in his works, but I forget the name. Anyone know who it is?" Steve Reich, perhaps?

Do you have his Piano Concerto? Ormandy / Entremont do a decent job. Also, the Rattle recording of "Porgy & Bess" is superb.

You might want to check out Magnolia Thunderp u s s y. There's not much else...

Beastie Boys DVD Video Anthology - Criterion Collection

Quote: Originally posted by john_jcb If you enjoy Tom Waits you might want to get Holly Cole's CD Temptation the entire CD are covers of Tom's work. It is also a very well recorded CD and a great one for auditioning gear....

Tough decision, but I'd have to vote for Rain Dogs.

FWIW, my vote goes to Fanfare.

Perhaps not a jazz vocalist per se, but you might want to check out Ute Lemper's album, Punishing Kiss. She sings songs by such song-writing luminaries as Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, &c.
