Find obscure bands and try and understand where their talent comes from. Listen to music from other countries and learn from it. If I had to live on an empty island for the rest of my life I would take Passion and warfare as one of my cds.
Have you kistened to Weather Report at all? It was Jaco Pastorious' jazz/funk band (more jazzy) and light on vocals but heavy on talented musicians.
