Is "Tiki" Tiki? - Bilge

I am a huge fan of Miles Davis, but mostly I like classic west coast jazz. Less esoteric, more melodic. Then again, I am also a fan of crossover jazz...but don't tell anyone! Jon Hassell, I guess could loosely be characterized as modern jazz...but, he actually came from the orchestral world. Noteably, he was on the orginal recording of a famous Steve Reich piece called, "in C". That is a minimalist work that does owe alot to Phillip Glass, by the way! Interestingly, one of Jon hassell's early recordings was called "earthquake island", and the liner notes read like your typical liner notes of say, a Les Baxter album. There are so many unexpected associations in music. Like everything has 6 degrees of separation to something else. Of course, I maintain that hippy music really is the polar opposite of tiki music. For a lot of reasons.
