So you think he'll like Art Ensemble of Chicago, Ornette Coleman and Sun Ra??? I doubt it. I don't even think he'll like 80% of Miles Davis' work.
If your read his posts, he doesn't like drummers that use brushes or Ella Fitzgerald!!! I think that means that his tastes are relatively narrow. For now we should suggest things that he's likely to like and let him grow into other things at his own pace.
