Some of you may know me from Prog Ears......but the bulk of my listening is jazz or jazz-related. I've been lurking for a bit, but thought I'd introduce myself. Cone is my real first name, it's true!
I'm an electric bassist, amongst other things. I love good music, no matter what the genre, though I listen mainly to music that has a strong improv component, and I favor instrumental music. Love world music, too.
My all-time favorite band is Weather Report, all periods. My favorite musician of all time is John Coltrane, without a doubt. I love Miles, Holdsworth, McLaughlin, Jaco.....Monk, Parker, Mingus......tons and tons of artists, in fact. I don't listen to much Country or folk, or straight blues (though once in a while I spin something....) and not much in the way of Indie or the current Flavor of the Pop Month. But I don't actively avoid much of it.
I've been listening to, and playing, jazz and jazz-related music since age 13, back in......1979. I even had a 9 month period of Jazz Snobbism, complete with Upright-Only Attitude, in my early 20's.
There ya go. Howdy!

Welcome indeed - wow, only a 9 month period of Jazz Snobbism - I went for longer in my 20s but it's worked out of the system now.  ------------- We are men of action.

| Welcome to the site. The musician whom you mentioned is splendid. They are all favorites for me. I enrolled in Prog Ears, but there is always me here now. Please always enjoy JMA. |

Word Up Mr Ears! I am a committed jazz snob for life  ..but seriously, when I was in music school it was hardcore bop and avant garde only, no rock, no fusion etc, but then I discovered P Funk

Probably I thought that it was this, but I did not understand the structure and explanation.

| A lot of my collection is kozmikgroove, that music also mixes well with early trip-hop and classic dub reggae. I have millions of mix-tapes like this. |
