I searched to see if this had come up before, but the closest was "what are you listening to now?" I bet most of us listen to music as opposed to talk radio during drive time for example. My favorite is a local NPR from a college that plays all jazz 24/7, with periodic pledge campaigns. We're talkin' the real thing, from Armstrong on Basin Street through Basie and Brubeck and on up to Coltrane and Wes Montgomery and even brand new stuff. They explicitly promise not to play Kenny G for instance. They have a web stream by the way at KCSM.net Anyway I find myself occasionally thinking "I wonder how that would translate to guitar?". It also lets new compositional techniques and styles slip in to my creative subconscious. And when I do occasionally switch over to the classic rock channel(s), for a little change of pace, I hear the arrangements of stuff I may not have particularly cared for originally, in new ways.
A lot of my co-workers are surprised I don't like to listen to music at work. Too many interruptions. Do you listen at work?
As a correlation to the jazz thing, anybody here a Larry Coryell or Bill Frisell fan? Just curious.
