My goal in jazz and in music explorations in general is to reach a CORE of 280 musicians, so great for me that i will listen to them once a month on average till my death...
I suppose i can at max listen 10 musicians or composers by day, for 7 days x 4 weeks=280...
Why?
It is because for me intense repeated listenings of a piece from a musician and composer that move me emotionnally, intellectually and spiritually is more powerful than novelty by itself.... it is necessary to discover new musicians but i must balance it by my devotional sacred temple altar choices.... Many new musicians interest me for leisure only one time but not enough to really move me for various reason....
For sure my numbers are not exact, i only used them to describe what i look for and who i want to put on a new altar in front of with i wanted to pray...
i do not differentiate anymore, musicians, composers or cultural styles... only matter music be it this or this :
Perhaps some people are like me too ?😁😊
My post do not negate specifics of any style as jazz , they are all interesting as unique language and discourses...I love jazz especially and it reflect in my hours ratio listenings a bit ...
But i look for the best for my hearing soul and it is IMPREVISIBLE...
I dont know why a jazz album will impact me so much at the end and why...I can know some objective reason but the impact weight is not reductible to reason or musical knowledge at the end ... Because Bach matter as much as Miles Davis or Ali Akbar khan...
Then listening music is also to embark in a journey to investigate our own ocean soul variable levels ...
