Get StartedI listen to rock, rap, hip hop, funk, soul, motown, sometimes jazz, pop, blues, electronic stuff... basically everything except country or christian rock.
I'm open minded... it just has to be good, and something I haven't heard before.
For Jazz,
Anything Miles, early, to when he had his quartet, quintet,
Anything Coltrane, Impressions,
Try Sonny Rollins, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Art Tatum, Lee Morgan, Hank Mobley, Herbie Hancock, Art Blakey, Errol Garner, Wynton Kelly, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Ron Carter, Elvin Jones, Charles Mingus.
Blues, I listen to Muddy, Pinetop Perkins, Howlin Wolf, Big Mama, Little Walter, Tampa Red, Ma Rainey, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Otis Spann, Albert King, James Cotton, Hubert Sumlin, Otis Rush, Albert Collins, Willie Dixon, B.B. Sonny Boy Williamson,
Lots of the old Big Band like Harry James, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey,
Fletcher Henderson, Red Allen, Cootie Williams, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Roy Eldridge, Johnny Hodges,
Some brilliant sideman with the band leaders,
and Frank Zappa.
We have a publicly funded jazz radio station in Denver (no commercials) that plays a lot of the older, big band stuff - that's always on in the house.
I've been into reggae and ska for some reason lately. I think it keeps me mellow.
I think I mentioned it a year or two ago, but I really like the Goat Rodeo Sessions. It lives somewhere between classical and bluegress, specifically, Yo-Yo Ma and bluegrass. When I drive between North Carolina and Michigan there are two songs that are always a part of the drive. Maybe an hour into the drive I play Road Trippin' by RHCP and then I'm usually in the Blue Ridge Mountains at sunset and I have to play this:...
that sounds good - I need some new hip hop to listen to - but I don't have satellite radio.At my boxing gym, we have this one trainer, he's a black dude, and he always puts this urban hip hop satellite channel on.
Every other line in everything that's played, it seems to me anyway, is "motha fuckin' niggah" this and "motha fuckin' niggah" that.
So if you wanna listen to some jams that are about motha fuckin' niggahs, let me know, and I'll get the satellite station number for that.
I can't drive around Chicago listening to bluegrass. A re you crazy? people will point and laugh, and say "Hey, fella, are you lost or somethin? Ya hick."
