So did you get into jazz by discovering this list, through your parents or some other way?
Che.
Couw only started buying in the CD era: his first album was supposed to be Out to Lunch, but the shop didn't have it so he got Out There. He bought Out to Lunch a little later.
He wanted to buy Out to Lunch because he had read about it in The Negative Dialectics of Poodle Play (a book on Zappa). Also because Straight Up and Down was featured as the opening tune to a television series he liked to watch.
My question to couw is -- what was that television series???
thanks for the answer maren, I love you (I think)
anyhow, the tellyvision series was "Keek op de Week" by Kees van Kooten en Wim de Bie.
