Classical, Rock, Jazz etc. are your tastes evolving with time?


In being and Audiophile, where do you find your music likes/tastes to fall.  Are you more of a one type of listener or do you feel you listen to a variety of music styles?  

To fess up for myself, I find my taste/likes have both evolved and re-visited favorites as time has passed.  I believe I used to be more narrow but have come to appreciate a wider range of styles and eras.

I've been a guitar tone freak for about 5 decades which explains why I've owned piles of guitars and amps over the years, and yesterday I was enjoying one of my favorite all time "tone monster" LPs...Yo Yo Ma playing solo Bach...that album is one of my "go to" tone demos, and I can't not sit there for the entire thing once I put it on the table. For me he's the Billy Gibbons of the cello. Go Yo Yo!
I was a teen in the 70's- always have listened to what is now called classic rock. By the late 80's I got into jazz- hard bop, and similar.Now I listen to classic rock and jazz-
Classical, European folk evolved into country and rock came from parts of Europe including England.  Jazz is American, and much of the world from Copenhagen to Paris to Japan embraces American Jazz, especially from Scott Joplin through the Be Bop era.  Some of the best American Jazz I was able to ever see was at Jazz bars in Kovenhavn at 3 in the morning.  New York City is sometimes referred to as the city that never sleeps, Kovenhavn seriously does not sleep.  Even the hot dog vendors on the street are out in the "wee" hours. 

There has never been a "favorite type of music" but rather "favorite artists or songs". Hey, I even count Mistadobalina as one of my guilty pleasures. Along Copacabana, Beethoven’s 5th piano concert (Claudio Arrau), Achy Breaky Heart (yes, I just said it), Sergio Endrigo, My Way by Sid Vicious, and a few more you would probably not even be able to Google successfully. All of those have not changed, they just got added along the way.

Having said that, most of the obvious inner change was brought by spending a few years in the area with strong music history. After leaving, some music from there simply felt like "mine". Not that I had anything against it prior to being there but it had not connected.

By the way, hot dog vendors, not to mention Halal Guys and fruit-stand guys, are up 24/7/365 in New York, too. Not that it has anything to do with anything but not to be unfair to their hard work.
