Yo-Yo Ma. This guy stole my fire. I was Yo Ma-Ma and he comes along. We had a bunch of hot cello stuff all ready, I taught him how to play, and he stole it all and look at him now. Oh well. I'm used to ungrateful students who steal all my songs. Jaco, Victor, Oteil, Tal and Yo-Yo, none of them seem to even remember me. Werner Herzog learned everything he knows from me and won't even acknowledge me. He stole all my ideas. He was a lot of fun to drink beer with. Yo Yo didn't drink. He was too young. It was fun to call him- "Yo, Yo-Yo." We gave him yo-yos all the time. He hated that. "Yo, Yo-Yo, I gotcha yo-yo."
Why not jazz?
Sort:
That cello one went over my head but every time I hear Phillip glass I think of South Park lmao 
Ya Oscar Peterson might be the best ever the musics just not really my bag I definitely couldn’t listen to it like you did. Oscar peterson is the best and art Tatum doesn’t count bc he must have sold his soul or something
Ya Glass and John Cage I’m not big on maybe later it’ll click idk. One guy kinda like them u should definitely check out is Steve Reich. U may already know but he has some incredible stuff. He was inspired by Bach and Bartok. (Seems every musician likes Bach). I think he specifically mentioned bachs brandenburg concerto no. five- the brandenburgs are incredible. Idk how y’all paste those videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMsYuFrKUQ8

I used to listen to 'Different Trains' and Electric Counterpoint a lot as well as Cage. Morton Feldman and Terry Riley also. For Jazz, Sun Ra was my go to. I love when Jazz fuses with electronic/ambient too:
Freaking love ambient. I wish I had serius radio only for the channel “chill”. That’s my channel
Everyone better go listen to Tycho this is a requirement haha

Indeed Ron.
Philip Glass. Truthfully, Glass is a little too minimalist for me. I feel that a song shouldn't be too repetitive for too long. I like things to change up and go different directions, with different beats and meters. Swing it man. Rachmaninoff rocks it and then does a lot of weird stuff. Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't studied enough of him to give any opinion. I like what I've heard, but he seems lost in eighth or sixteenth notes sometimes. Again, I like to change things up. Many musicians have a hard time with full beat rests. You hardly ever hear it in songs nowadays. Too Much Time on Our Hands, who was that? (Styx), has a full beat rest that my band, the members of which were supposed to be better players than me, could never get the full beat rest in that song. "...I've got too much (full beat rest- silence- no one plays a note or a beat) time on my hands...." Only the first time they sing it, the next one has a hand clap in it.
