Many consider jazz transcendent. Perhaps they are onto something. I have found that letting go opens more possibilities than hanging on. YMMV, as always.

I like jazz, and also other musical modes. Whatever sneaks in through the psyche’s back door and helps us let go is good. I’ll add that one of the aphorisms attributed to Gurdjieff is "Take the understanding of the East and the knowledge of the West—and then seek."

The broader your perspective, the more accurate your view. The East and West should complement each other, not compete. We are part of a “whole” that is a very small part of an even bigger “whole.” Which is nowhere near “complete.” The more you learn, the less you know. Boredom is a choice.
