"... but I can get a very similar poetic, spiritual and physical rush from John Martyn as I can from Vaughan Williams or Alice Coltrane. I can get the same foot-on-monitor high from No Quarter and Hit The Road Jack as from Parsifal."
I love John Martyn's music and never really consider his stuff in the realm of rock music. Nor Zeppelin but I guess they're one of the biggest rock bands! I think I need to rethink my strategy a bit. It all started after seeing Sun Ra Arkestra live last Tuesday and actually physically crying during they're set as the musicians were so overwhelmingly good that night that everything else seems empty since. It's a few years since a gig touched me like that.
