Orpheus, you might be right. I guess it would be interesting to find out (or realise) why some music touch us and some other not.
In my case, I was always digging back thru time, looking to discover some music, because I did not like the one from the present. (born 1973)
Luckily, I have discovered jazz in my early 20’s and after that I was not looking or listening to other stuff, aldo I kept almost all my old records.
For a very short period of time, I listened to some 'fusion' as well, but it did not stick. Perhaps that even today I am quite reluctant to move back to that time frame, when we speak about some further development of music...
I have no idea how I would feel I was hearing jazz first and than come to live in a time when everything has changed, musicly and otherwise?
Probably I would become somebody like Rok (smile)....or perhaps not, after all?
Pjw,
if we were closer, I would give you some of my records as a gift, maybe it would be interesting for you to have some ’exotic’ prints.
Like I said, I cant listen to that anymore. It sounds so ’limited’ and ’predictable’, or even worse, just boring...or annoying....
I know that it sounds harsh, but that is exactly the feeling I got when I have guests and they ask me to play some other music than jazz...(sometimes I feel sorry for them, I am not a perfect host in that regard)
Blues, or some other pure or ’simple’ forms are ok... but hard rock, or sympho or progressive rock, or psychodelia...it sounds so pretentious, or funny, if I am in better mood....like children pretending to be adults...
