Dick Hyman:
The man with the BEST name in show business, ever.
On top of that, he is a master jazz & classical pianist with probably over 100 albums in his catalog.
Throughout the 1960's, Hyman recorded several albums for Command Records, the infamous psych-lounge label run by the Jesus Christ of the genre, Enoch Light.
Shortly after the Moog synthesizer was introduced to the unknowing public, Hyman recorded two groundbreaking albums, using this newly available technology.
Here's one of them. The discerning ear will notice bits and pieces sampled in several Beastie Boys songs.

PS: Of course, the purpose of these free downloads is so you can preview them, and then purchase the music through legitimate means. I would never encourage anybody to subvert the music industry. There it is, in writing. That's exactly how I officially feel.
