I like the Art Farmer quite a bit. A few others, not mentioned yet, that I like are: Buddy Tate / Paul Quinichette / Jay McShann - Kansas City Joys Ruby Braff - Them There Eyes

I saw Art Farmer a few times. Once with the Jazztet, and then much later with his Quintet at the (Colorado) Vail Jazz Party in 1996. My collection of Art's recordings is very extensive. He was a wonderful jazz musician.

String Quartet - Op.133 and Op.135

Haydn - Op.71/3 Beethoven - Violin Sonata No.9, Op.47 "Kreutzer"

I 'm glad you added that final paragraph. Yes the music (jazz, classical, pop,rock. whatever) will continue to change in one way or another. But for some listeners, yes, we have developed a comfort zone, and the music that is within that comfort zone is richly rewarding to us. That comfort zone may be large, or it may be small, and it may be different for each listener. Each individual has to make their own choice in this area.
