Since the 1920s or earlier there has been an ongoing cross exchange between modern composers and jazz artists.

Although many of my favorite works are more avant-garde, my favorite composer overall is Stravinsky, especially for his later period French/American neo-classical pieces.

I was not familiar with all of these composers. However, I think that this vote is very significant.
I checked "The Rite of Spring" of Stravinsky before, too. It was splendid. And I like avant-garde works equally.

Steve Reich and Terry Riley were entrances of those music for me.
By the way, there was a musician called "Toru Takemitsu in Japan.

Please try it when people are interested in it.

Alike Kazu, I'm not familiar with all of these neither I know much beyond the classic pieces of some of these.

But Steve Reich and Terry Riley are indeed faves of mine, my entry to minimalistic music and oh man, it's so good.

However, I'll give my vote to Satie if only for his Gymnopedies that are just.... heaven-made.

Yes. Gymnopedies. I intended to say it, too. It is solemn with beauty definitely.

Carl Orff because of Carmina Burana
I went through a P.Glass period but I barely listen to him now, otherwise I am not a fan of 20th century music
I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Debussy for me, as I'm a sucker for the Impressionists. If he'd been in the list (wrong century perhaps) I'd also have considered the big Rach.

I like Debussy too, but I like Ravel a little better in that category. 
Ever listen to Tomita's versions of that era in music?

No, but I just looked into it now, read up a bit on the 'Snowflakes Are Dancing' album and heard a few tracks, it sounds fantastic, familiar yet new etc - really enjoying it, thanks John

A famous one

Some like Tomita, some don't, to me its similar to 50s-60s exotica, kind of cheesy but in a good way. 
My favorite is his album "The Bermuda Triangle", mostly the music of Prokofiev, lots of the old Mellotron on that one.

Tomita is nice , I like 'Snowflakes are dancing' and 'Bermuda...'
Ravel I like only the 'Bolero', Deussy I don't like, Satie's 'Gymnopedies...' are OK and have some nice transcriptions in jazz(Jacques Loussier), Bartok I can listen to some of his work

In painting, impressionists are my favorites, in music on the contrary.I find Debussy one of the most boring composers.

Went with Ravel because I occasionally find Debussy a bit too sappy, but It's really hard to choose because there are so many different styles represented in this poll. Has anyone heard of Nikolai Kapustin? He's a heavily jazz influenced composer, and as far as I know he's still composing.
