Could you list maybe six of these modern jazz bands you think are the among the best you listen to? I don't mean avant prog jazz but more or less pure jazz artists or at least ones who could be categorized as jazz. If you include fusion with that then that's ok too. Thanks.

Over the past decade I've been listening to between 200-400 new release albums from each year. Of these, maybe 40 to 50 receive regular play over the course of a year or so, with maybe five albums from each year carrying over into multiple years of active listening. At the same time, PA has been able to excite in me a  continuous stream of curiosity for the thousands I records I missed over these 55 years of progressive rock music. I have probably expanded my collection and awareness of "classic" era prog by a factor of two since I joined PA in 2007--which means about 1000 new albums to my listenership. Then there are all of the albums I discover retrospectively when I get into a "phase" of trying to get to know & explore a sub-genre or decade that I know little of. In short, the past fourteen years have been filled with probably about 95% "new" (to me) music; about 5% given to my "old favorites."

ProgArchives has enabled me to become the prog-o-phile that I have become; new artists help fuel the fire.

Me too, although modern jazz to me means any jazz from the last fifty years. Smile

I listen to Madonna too, and I even voted for her True Blue album in a recent "prog" poll. Tongue

So you don't listen to anything except prog? I'm not judging. I'm just curious because I would think that would be somewhat unusual(although not unheard of). 


I listen to almost 100% prog - life is too short to listen to anything else!!

Quite the same here.


Ditto.

But I have to remark that the majority of "newly discovered" listens is due to the reviews, polls and feedback from this website. It's a remarkable group of people, and the varied insights have broadened my musical horizons.


I might add that, if the "new" music I happen to find is actually originally from the 70's, then it's more likely to end up being among the music I'll keep listening later on more regularly (or perhaps music from the 00's and 10's, but then that would be metal... or prog metal... or new music from the old guys, specially if they find their roots again).

10% local independent radio station.
60% new musicians (different genres)
30% prog

I generally listen to prog all day on YouTube, and then listen to anything but prog all night on CD. Smile

Maybe 50-60% new to me and the rest good old "comfort" music. Maybe half of the new to being older than 10 years as there is lot of music I missed the first time around.

I have this row of elpees that are new to me. But I still listen to my favorite 'known' records about 70% of the time. There's about 20% of vocal jazz, 10% Dutch artists, 10% metal, 20% psychedelic and folk and the other 40% is prog.
I'm guitarist and songwriter for the prog-related band Mother Bass. Find us at http://www.motherbass.com. I also enter stages throughout the Netherlands performing my poetry.

2020 had not been a very good year for financial security. All my purchasing, even guitar effects, were re-prioritized.

I'm always finding new stuff to groove to but the new stuff is usually old.

I don't buy a lot of music these days, so most of what I listen to is stuff I've had on hand a while. So, say, 80% old, 20% new. Note that "old" here includes extreme technical metal and the like from the last ten years, and "new," obscure prog circa 1970.
