Great music few are aware of. Any genre.

simonmoon, it is my opinion that it was primarily Emerson's keyboard playing that displayed and contained his classical training and knowledge, his writing less so. I find the ELP songs devoid of the musical sophistication, wit, and wisdom found in the work of Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks, Randy Newman, Frank Zappa, Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher (Procol Harum), and a few others. As always, just one opinion. It's all good!

@hifiman5 ive been listening to the artists via Tidal, and haven’t been able to find any of the compilations on their discography.  We still have a couple of record/cd stores around here and I’ll check and see if they have any Stockfisch holdings.  I’ve really been enjoying Sara K., Allen Taylor and Sammy Vomacka thus far.

Rastus - Dave "Smokey" Smelko was one of the best drummers!

Although not unknown, Ojos de Brujo was as fine a band as I've ever heard.  Just a fascinating combo of influences, technique and energy.

In a different genre, Steel Pulse, particularly the early albums, were mesmerizing.
