    Someone already mentioned his collabo w/ DJ Food, but Ken Nordine's solo work
    is also essential.
    I have 'Word Jazz,' a collection of short stories over a band led by Chico
    Hamilton I believe.
    Also 'Colors,' a collection of advertisements he did for a paint company.
    Each piece is an abstract poem or story describing the shade of paint while
    the band 'plays' that color. I'm sure there's more out there anybody know?
    On a related note, what's a good place to start digging into the Chico
    Hamilton discography?
