Which jazz musician do you listen to the most frequently?

[Ron Thorne]

AHA! Yet another who has experience with the "no music spell".

See there, Ron?

And for me, it mostly means I'm not listening to, or buying, anything new. And mostly only listening to music in the car during my relatively short commute.

It's not a true moratorium, but as close as a music lover would get to one.

I understand. There was no finger-pointing or judgement on my part.

A day without music (for me) would be a day without full passion for life. And, since I've played music at varying levels for 57 of my 70+ years, it would just be weird.

Live music is the best, most profound, moving, inspirational of all, because you are part of the experience in a way that cannot be denied, whether on the stage or in the audience.

Impossible for me to say, but I am enjoying other people's responses. Keep 'em coming!

Ok. in 2014, Bill Evans.

[Ron Thorne]

This probably won't come as any surprise to many of you, but ... Jim Pepper.

Also, pianist Enrico Pieranunzi, in many incarnations.

I see that I replied last year with Miles, which is undoubtedly true. But I feel a Monk splurge coming on fast!

Of the classics, I listen to Ellington the most with Monk probably in 2nd place with Mingus. For musicians currently playing, it would have to be Bill Frisell.
