“I chose Les Baxter's 'African Jazz.' I heard a song called 'The Left Arm of Buddha' originally, and that song is unlike anything else of his that I've heard. Sort of got a really weird string loop and a drum groove drowned in tape echo and it sounded kind of quite ahead of its time.”Watch this moment
