Interesting. Moby is an odd one. Patti Smith and Charlie Haden for me. Patti Smith curated a few years back. I saw her and Television. Good stuff - although Television were surprisingly (at least to me) precious (or fastidious if you prefer) about tuning between songs. The second half of Patti Smith's set featured Kevin Shields - a bit relentless for me but intriguing. His groupie brought him a newly tuned guitar about every 2 minutes for almost an hour. I mention all of that because it seems to share some of the no compromise extremism of Ornette Coleman.
