I've gotten to where I like Satie's work because it feels as if he was a classical pop-song writer with all those cycles barely stretching past four or five minutes.

Mingus...oh boy...jazz is something I've never been able to get into for some reason. It isn't for lack of trying. I've played alto sax for over a decade I've played in a jazz-type band I've forced myself to listen to hundreds of albums from Mingus and Miles to Coltrane and Monk. I've listened to hundreds of Ellington tunes and several Ella Fitzgerald songbook collections. I've heard Love Supreme and Kind of Blue and Mingus Ah Uhm and The Ink Spots and Billie Holiday compilations and while I do really enjoy some of it (mostly the vocal jazz/ jazz pop sort - and I've grown to revere Django Reinhardt's playing ability), putting on any single Miles Davis record immediately makes my head hurt. In a Sentimental mood, though, I could listen to ten different versions of that in a row.

Not to mention, Satie was probably one of the most innovative composers in his time. A lot of his earliest music is even atonal, only beaten to the chase by Liszt, who only wrote one atonal piece, as opposed to Satie, who wrote many.

As for jazz, I grew up around it. I was already exposed to it from a very early age. My appreciation of it, I guess, came from hearing it more than any other genre. Early on, though, I felt like there was a wall between me and understanding of the music. Then, I got tired of listening to rock, pop, folk and would either listen to classical or jazz. I guess it slowly started to click with me, and now Supreme and KOB are two of my favorite records.

I always liked that Miles Davis album, it's one of his earliest releases(40's). Though I haven't listened to it for years now.

Over Christmas I'm allowed to listen to music at work since they won't let my play music over the public address system at the store I work at.

Everyone else gets to, I'm being discriminated against
