.:.impossible Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 This past week, it has been Miles Davis. If I could go back and clock my listening time, I'm sure Miles would be at the top of the list. Coltrane, Monk also. These three are the only jazz constants in my collection. Eric Dolphy and Bobby Hutcherson would probably be up there as well, though I haven't really listened to either of them in a while. The Sea and Cake have steadily become the most listened to "rock" in my collection, along with Pavement and I can't forget Bob Marley! Before jazz, it was the Grateful Dead and, to a lesser degree, Phish. Phish has made an upward swing within the past month or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Thorne Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 (edited) I love it! The thread title poses the impossible question, to paraphrase, "Who is the single artist you listen to the most?". Is anyone paying attention to the actual responses? Here's a typical one: "Good thread! Coltrane, Miles, Mingus, Duke, Bill Evans, Blakey, & Jackie McLean... " I counted seven "single" artists in that response, alone. I can't answer this thread question, because I simply don't have a clue. Which day, week, month or year are you inquiring about? I'm easily confused, though. There are many artists who rank among my favorites, but I don't listen to one favorite artist to the exclusion of others. Nor do I have a sense of having spent a great deal more time listening to one favorite artist than others! Depending upon the moment: Miles Davis Julian "Cannonball" Adderley John Coltrane Bill Evans Michael Ruff (who?) Charles Mingus Steely Dan (yeah, I know that's more than one "artist") Rahsaan Roland Kirk Dave Burrell AWB Kenny Wheeler Gerald Wilson Gary Burton Enrico Pieranunzi Habib Koité Tower of Power et al Get the picture?
