Quick, name an album featuring Linda Ronstadt, Don Cherry, John McLaughlin, Gato Barbieri, and Jack Bruce. That would be the three-record big band jazz/avant garde not-opera "Escalator Over the Hill" a "Chronotransduction" by Carla Bley and Paul Haines, recorded between 1969 and 1971. Sure it's an unlistenable pretentious mess, but it's the perfect recording to out-snob a snob. Dig it!
