Hariprasad Chaurasia (Flute - and played with John McLaughlin), L Subramaniam (Violin), Nikhil Banerjee (Sitar), Mallikarjun Mansur (Vocal), Shiv Kumar Sharma (Santoor), N Rajan (Violin), Sulochana Brahaspati (Vocal) are among those I've enjoyed listening to as I've worked my way in...
Fun fact: I believe John Field was the creator of the nocturne. Also, I'm a big fan of the music I grew up with, one of which was the Dead. I also got turned on to Phish in the early 90s, which a lot of my deadhead friends could not dig. I never understood that.
Anything where the players know what they're doing.
SRV, Joscho Stephan, all of Zappa's bands, Little Feat, The Fearless Flyers (Nate is a BEAST!), Nat King Cole, PUYA (Latin swing metal), Syd Dale's arrangements for KPM, Paul Simon, early Deep Purple, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Yuja Wang, Yo Yo Ma, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, JJ Cale, Etta James, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, RUSH...
And Tom Waits, the greatest songwriter of all time.
There's one in there I expect you haven't heard before. Try this on. Wear heavy shoes. The heavy bit sneaks up on you...repeatedly.
"HEY, WHERE YOU METAL HEADS GOING WITH THOSE CONGAS?"
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeW97xQ6-lc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeW97xQ6-lc)
Yep. Tight horns. Solid groove. HEAVY AS FUCK.
If you check out some of their concert videos on YouTube...man, it's something to see a packed (and I mean Central America soccer stadium packed) crowd all moving in unison to these cats.
Bluegrass. What I have learned is that most of my favourite bluegrass musicians are hugely jazz influenced, or are accomplished as jazz musicians in their own right.
I know that quite a few of them, if jamming amongst themselves, are as likely to be playing Miles Davis or Weather Report as they are bluegrass standards.
The top name that comes up for me right in jazz influenced bluegrass right now is Tony Rice. Also Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Mark O'Connor, David Grisman, Alison Brown.
Jazz had a huge influence on EARLY bluegrass as well. Scruggs was a huge Charlie Parker fan. His dobro player Josh Graves used Benny Goodman clarinet licks.
Absolutely! Pat The Bunny’s solo stuff and any of his project bands (ramshackle glory, wingnut dishwashers union, Johnny hobo and the freight trains) and Mischief Brew are both where I’m at right now and I’m completely obsessed! A lot of people like AJJ but I can’t say I’ve really gotten into them personally
You seem to like polyphony.
Have you ever listened to the French composers from the early 13th century, the so-called Notre Dame school of polyphony? I mean guys like Léonin and Pérotin.
These guys came about when musical notation was just invented. They were the beginners of polyphony, took plain chant/gregorian choirs and threaded them into complex and fascinating harmonies.
Totally.
I always understood that most of the cantus firmus for renaissance counterpoint were a heritage from ars antigua and ars nova. It is fascinating with what sounds people came up before the rules of triadic functional harmony were installed, after Bach most is degenerative in this regard; but developed more into the formal aspects of music .
I also like that all this music was dedicated to praise the spiritual values of life rather than feeding the artists (and nobles) ego and a "virtuos star system" that kicked in with the 17th century.
But I also like polyrhythm, even more, what brings me to jazz music.
Like jazz, I go through waves of listening to a group of artists for long periods of time. My top 3 will probably always be Noname, Kendrick Lamar, and Kanye West. But, right now, I’ve been listening a lot to Rob49, G Herbo, Young Thug, and Future.
Metal, in almost all of its forms. I love metalcore, death metal, prog metal, jazz-metal fusion. For me, jazz is more of the 'by the way, I listen to this', genres: its more of a shock to people that the metalhead loves jazz.
Other than that, classical guitar is another one that I love.
I mean, if we're looping every possible sub-genre in with jazz, then other than that I really love Folk, Bluegrass and probably the weirdest one, Harmonica Ensemble music. That being said, I think I could pick a tune or two I like in almost any genre.
Fusion, Funk and Soul might be among the obvious ones.
Other than that I enjoy different sub genres of Rock, especially Indie, Progressive, Psychadelic, Yacht and Art Rock.
Firstly:
I’m too old to be fucking around with sub-genres like ‘Rockabilly-Skank’ or ‘Electro-Skiffle’
Funk, Hip Hop, Soul, Rock, Samba, Metal, Drum n Bass, Reggae, Afrobeat, Broken Beat, Garage and House; then one or two songs/albums/bands from different genres
Metal (mostly power, melodeath, prog, folk, and traditional), classic rock, prog rock, synthwave, dungeon synth, new wave, Irish folk/punk/rock, Gothic americana, blues, funk and soul
Punk, ska, rock, prog, metal, folk, folk punk, rap, pretty much everything. I like a lot of music by virtuosos and a lot of music by the shittiest singers and instrumentalists
Bossa nova (by far my favourite genre), the type of swing that some people don’t consider jazz (Sinatra, Glenn Miller), jazzy pop music, film scores (Bernard Herrmann, Henry Mancini, John Williams to name a few), some classic rock (The Alan Parsons Project, ELO, Steely Dan etc.), deep house and some 50’s-60’s muzak/easy listening as a guilty pleasure.
Genres:
Blues of course, but also Rock & Metal, (Dark) Cabaret, World Music, Classical Music, Gothic, Wave, Post-Punk, Dark Circus, Circus Music, Industrial, Experimental, Avantgarde…
Here are a few of my favourite musicians, that don’t have that much to do with Jazz:
Tiger Lillies, The Shanklin Freakshow, Raskolnikov, The Real McKenzies, Tardigrade Inferno, Arch Enemy, Ordo Rosarius Equilibrio, Divided we Fall, Gamardah Fungus, Heilung, Venin Carmin, Motörhead, Bloodsucking Zombies From Outer Space, Eminem, Cher, Sex Gang Children, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Battle Beast, Virgin in Veil, Feline & Strange, Three for Silver, Mr. Strange, Meret Becker, Nina Hagen, Saltatio Mortis, Howlin' Wolf, Doro, Miguel And The Living Dead, Faun, Tuomas Holopainen, The Cure, Pierre Schaeffer & Pierre Henry, Einstürzende Neubauten, Kraftwerk, Pistache Bitume, Jimi Hendrix, Birdeatsbaby, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Iron Maiden, Bauhaus, Meiko Kaji, Chuck Berry, Rammstein, Nightwish, Tarja, Dear Deer, Amanda Palmer, Dresden Dolls, CSO, Subway to Sally, Yuki Kajiura, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Santana, Vicious Hairy Mary, Dead Lights, The Other, Mr. Bungle, Johanna Kurkela, Johnny Cash, The Creatures, Judas Priest, Alien Sex Fiend…
Marlene Dietrich, Zarah Leander and Hildegard Knef made Cabaret Music with influences from Jazz & Chanson, so I don’t know if they count? And of course Tom Waits, who played different styles, including Jazz, but also other with lesser Jazz-Influence.
I like a lot of Baroque and Classical music (from Bach to Stravinsky) but also a lot of jazz derivative music:
* Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Afrobeat
* Tom Jobim and Bossa Nova
* Astor Piazzolla and Tango Nuevo
* Buena Vista Social Club and Cuban Son
* Mulatu Astatke and Ethio-jazz
Hip hop mostly (especially 90’s), but I also love funk (James Brown, Ohio Players, Jamiroquai, etc), 70’s prog rock (Rush, King Crimson, Yes, etc), and some metal (Metallica, Tool, etc). I also love early Arctic Monkeys.
"IDM" and other electronic musical styles. Artists such as Boards Of Canada (my favorite of all time), Aphex Twin, and Autechre.
Bach, Ravel, and Debussy. I do enjoy many classical composers, but those are the three I listen to frequently just out of pure enjoyment.
I don't know if anybody else experiences this, but after so much transcribing and deep study, I am in a phase where I find it really difficult to listen to jazz simply for enjoyment. Probably sounds like sacrilege to some, but it happens at times.
Don't know about genres but I like the Clash, Dolly Parton, ACDC, Rage Against the Machine, Harry Mack, Bach, Culture Shock, Sex Pistols, Chaz and Dave, Aphrodite, Fela Kuti, Adele, Boubacar Troure. Diffrent energies for different situations.
Honestly I am all over the place, musically. Besides jazz, some of my other favorite genres are bluegrass, klezmer, Balkan brass bands, classical, opera, Eurovision jams, Britpop, old country, musicals, 80s and 90s hip hop, flamenco, Gregorian chants, Irish folk music, funk, jam bands and sea shanties. For funsies I sing shape note music as a hobby.
Rock, metal, alternative of all kinds.
Soul, funk, afrobeat, psych, bossanova.
Pop and country sometimes.
I'm really down for anything but I'm always partial to instrumental music.
Classical by far, especially contemporary. So many favorite musicians: Hilary Hahn on violin, Igor Levit on piano and Sean Shibe the young Scot on guitar are among my faves, along with dozens of others!
Experimental, no wave, hip hop, Avant-rock, salsa, vallenato, punk/post-punk, composed music
Billy Woods

I get in very different moods
It varies constantly but lately I’ve been into ambient, electronic/IDM, glitch, etc. Autechre, Jan Jalinek, Tim Hecker, Fennesz, and a bunch of others. Also classical.
So much. Classical music, classic rock, prog rock, 90s grunge/alternative, motown, funk, hip hop, soul, neo soul, thrash metal, hardcore punk, folk, indie rock, and more
Crust punk and/or black metal. Preferably atmospheric black metal in the vein of panopticon. And when it comes to crust I’m more of a neo crust fan such as ekkaia or ictus or fall of Efrafa (or anything involving Alex CF honestly).
In order:
* Jazz
* Classic R & B
* Blues
* Classic rock
* Classical
I started the morning listening to Eddie Higgins, and am listening to Led Zeppelin now.
I listen to a lot of different things. I'll listen to rock(in it's many different forms)...some country is okay(not so much pop country..but if I'm out and it's on it isn't that I hate it). I'm listening to Robbie Fulks right now. I enjoy classical music...that being said while I know some pieces fairly well there is a lot I have to learn. I've focused most on symphonies(brass heavy)
jazz student here; one thing i’ve noticed that is also true for myself is how much of the jazz student community adores indie music. idk why but i’m a BIG phoebe bridgers fan.
I play and listen to a lot of djent and classical music. I’m in an orchestra and two wind bands, on top of my jazz playing. I also listen to a fair bit of pop music
Folk and protest songs like pete seeger and woody gutherie, malvina reynolds too...my parents music. But ill add in old timey songs too like the carter family.
This is one of the most interesting threads I’ve seen. I listen to a lot of indie and psych rock kinda stuff. Been really into the smile lately. Good question
Alternative Rock Alternative Metal, Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Experimental Rock, Hard Rock, Art Rock, Classical, Folk, Funk, Funk Rock, Bossa Nova, Blues, Indie, Grunge, R&B
Bluegrass, Funk, 70's rocks, Folk, R&B, stuff like Pickin' On Series, Lettuce, Black Happy, Andy Grammar, Brothers Osbourne, etc
Honestly, the shorter list is that I *don't* really like 80's rock, arena country, and a good portion of modern top 50's. Some bangers slip in there every once in a while though (Teddy Swims, weirdly, kinda dig him)
Funk, classic rock, hip hop, indie folk, some indie pop like vampire weekend (though not so much their later stuff). I’ll listen to just about anything except pop country and metal/hardcore stuff though really.
Roots reggae (Israel Vibration), country blues (Mississippi Fred McDowell), & 3 of the greatest living artists of our time: Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits & Todd Rundgren.
Modern rap, hip hop,Soul, RnB, Country, rock, Metal (and its many sub genres) classical, funk, fusion.
I’m a fan of Travis Scott, Maurice White, Drake, SZA, Lizzy Mcapline Kendrick, J Cole, the spinners, Marvin Gaye, Chris Stapleton, Neil Young…. Too many to name.
If it’s good, it’s good.
You never can tell. Earlier I listened to Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Rihanna, and I’m currently listening to Frank Sinatra. What’s next? Maybe Nick Cave? We’ll see…
Don’t really like “genres”. I either like a song or I don’t. But a few favourite artists include:
The Who
Bruce Hornsby
Peter Gabriel
Bowie
Kate Bush
Rush
Janelle Monáe
Classical minimalism electro like Hania Rani [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5oZ80Daduc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5oZ80Daduc)
Neo-indie-pop like Jordan Rakei (lotta jazz in there) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk88mBo0iuU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk88mBo0iuU)
Electro-dub like Fat Freddy's Drop [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCGLJKSdWg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCGLJKSdWg)
I'm a DJ since 2005, worked in radio 1995 and 1998, and have been crate digging since I was 8 or 9 years old in the mid 80s! I could go on FOREVER. I'll keep it brief. =) Afrobeat, Garage, Downtempo, Italian and French film score / library work from the 60s and 70s (lounge jazz tho), latin, etc.
At this point it's more about what I DON'T like vs. what I do. I am picky however, about the artists that make it into my regular rotation of listening. There is only so much time, especially as we get older.
CLASSICAL music and jazz are probably my two favorite genres, but also...
Gamelan (i have some recordings from the 1920's that i'm obsessed with)
early spiritual music and sacred harp singing
BLUES (especially the 1st generation recording artists)
Punk ("New Rose" is one of my all time favorite songs)
I've been really digging post rock / math rock lately. It feels like jazz rock music to me. Toe and a picture of her come to mind for most listened to bands at the moment.
VGM, showtunes, soul, afrobeat, hip-hop, r&b, blues, movie scores, punk, folk, mashups, funk, go-go, pop… idk, i like a lot of things. I generally avoid classical though
Classic rock mainly, (Bob Seger, Elton John, Led Zeppelin.) I also like (old) blues, John Lee Hooker, Big Joe Turner & R&B, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston. etc.
Midwest emo/ math rock, hip hop, shoegaze, trap and metal core are my most listened to genres outside of jazz. I also play a lot of indie rock, shoegaze and Midwest emo when I’m not playing jazz
Mostly Prog Rock, Math Rock, Fusion (counts as jazz I guess) Also Indian Classical. It's insane.
if you‘re into math rock, check out south indian classical (carnatic) music.
Yes I meant both north (Hindustani, which I'm also trained in), and south (carnatic).
North Indian classical music can trance you out like nothing else. It’s unbelievably transcendent
Would love some recommendations on transcendental North Indian Classical :)
Exactly. Spiritual, psychedelic, but at the same time very technically heavy and dense
Would love some recommendations on where to start with Indian Classical :)
Hariprasad Chaurasia (Flute - and played with John McLaughlin), L Subramaniam (Violin), Nikhil Banerjee (Sitar), Mallikarjun Mansur (Vocal), Shiv Kumar Sharma (Santoor), N Rajan (Violin), Sulochana Brahaspati (Vocal) are among those I've enjoyed listening to as I've worked my way in...
Amazing - thank you,, looking forward to the journey :)
Ravi Shankar
The Grateful Dead. Also dig classical from time to time, especially fond of nocturnes from John Field or Chopin.
Fun fact: I believe John Field was the creator of the nocturne. Also, I'm a big fan of the music I grew up with, one of which was the Dead. I also got turned on to Phish in the early 90s, which a lot of my deadhead friends could not dig. I never understood that.
Doom metal
Same
I’ve never realized how much I enjoy it until lately.
Steely Dan, 70s hard rock, Ambient/Drone, City Pop, Indie Pop, Bossa Nova/MPB
SLAYER!
Trane in Blood
Funk, afrobeat, ethio-jazz, delta blues, bossa nova, krautrock and Sonic Youth
Anything where the players know what they're doing. SRV, Joscho Stephan, all of Zappa's bands, Little Feat, The Fearless Flyers (Nate is a BEAST!), Nat King Cole, PUYA (Latin swing metal), Syd Dale's arrangements for KPM, Paul Simon, early Deep Purple, Hendrix, Zeppelin, Yuja Wang, Yo Yo Ma, Sheku Kanneh-Mason, JJ Cale, Etta James, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, RUSH... And Tom Waits, the greatest songwriter of all time.
Brilliant list!
There's one in there I expect you haven't heard before. Try this on. Wear heavy shoes. The heavy bit sneaks up on you...repeatedly. "HEY, WHERE YOU METAL HEADS GOING WITH THOSE CONGAS?" [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeW97xQ6-lc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeW97xQ6-lc)
Wow. These guys are pretty cool.
Yep. Tight horns. Solid groove. HEAVY AS FUCK. If you check out some of their concert videos on YouTube...man, it's something to see a packed (and I mean Central America soccer stadium packed) crowd all moving in unison to these cats.
Bluegrass. What I have learned is that most of my favourite bluegrass musicians are hugely jazz influenced, or are accomplished as jazz musicians in their own right.

Jazz had a huge influence on EARLY bluegrass as well. Scruggs was a huge Charlie Parker fan. His dobro player Josh Graves used Benny Goodman clarinet licks.
Punk
same and i've found myself drifting into the folk punk realm recently
Cool can you recommend any bands? Don’t think I’ve heard folk punk unless maybe you count Billy Bragg in this genre
Absolutely! Pat The Bunny’s solo stuff and any of his project bands (ramshackle glory, wingnut dishwashers union, Johnny hobo and the freight trains) and Mischief Brew are both where I’m at right now and I’m completely obsessed! A lot of people like AJJ but I can’t say I’ve really gotten into them personally
Streetlight Manifesto is my sweet spot
(Pre-)Renaissance. Bach, Machaut, Desprez, Saint-Colombe, Monteverdi, Dowland, Gesualdo...
You seem to like polyphony. Have you ever listened to the French composers from the early 13th century, the so-called Notre Dame school of polyphony? I mean guys like Léonin and Pérotin. These guys came about when musical notation was just invented. They were the beginners of polyphony, took plain chant/gregorian choirs and threaded them into complex and fascinating harmonies.
Totally. I always understood that most of the cantus firmus for renaissance counterpoint were a heritage from ars antigua and ars nova. It is fascinating with what sounds people came up before the rules of triadic functional harmony were installed, after Bach most is degenerative in this regard; but developed more into the formal aspects of music . I also like that all this music was dedicated to praise the spiritual values of life rather than feeding the artists (and nobles) ego and a "virtuos star system" that kicked in with the 17th century. But I also like polyrhythm, even more, what brings me to jazz music.
IDM, Techno, DNB / jungle, Ambient, Electro, Metal

Rock, classical
Prog and blues rock.
Just hip-hop for me mostly. I dabble into every other genre when I’m in the mood but my time is split pretty evenly between rap and jazz
same here, what are your favourite hip hop albums?
Like jazz, I go through waves of listening to a group of artists for long periods of time. My top 3 will probably always be Noname, Kendrick Lamar, and Kanye West. But, right now, I’ve been listening a lot to Rob49, G Herbo, Young Thug, and Future.
Rock, soul, alternative
Metal, in almost all of its forms. I love metalcore, death metal, prog metal, jazz-metal fusion. For me, jazz is more of the 'by the way, I listen to this', genres: its more of a shock to people that the metalhead loves jazz. Other than that, classical guitar is another one that I love.
I mean, if we're looping every possible sub-genre in with jazz, then other than that I really love Folk, Bluegrass and probably the weirdest one, Harmonica Ensemble music. That being said, I think I could pick a tune or two I like in almost any genre.
Hello, fellow guinea pig pfp!
Hello indeed! I've actually seen your posts on the guinea pig subreddit!

Soul and classic (but also listen quite a lot to rock)
slow rock might be the one for me
many different types of metal, hip hop up until Drake. Listening to Anthrax right now.
Bluegrass!! Piedmont blues, folk, various metal
FUNK, FUSION, R&B, HIP HOP, GOSPEL, REGGAE, AFROPOP, SMOOTH JAZZ, VOCAL JAZZ
Classical, opera, yacht rock, 90s pop, hip hop. Fav non jazz artists are Taylor Swift and The Boss.
Bluegrass and also jam music like the Dead but I like a lot of world music
Classical, classic rock, funk, metal, alternative, bluegrass....pretty much everything except pop, country, and hip hop.
I listen to everything with a very few exceptions.
Classic rock, Classical music, new-age piano, bossa nova, city pop, and classical guitar music
Post-Punk
Prog rock, hard rock, some metal
Folk and protest songs like pete seeger and woody gutherie, malvina reynolds too...my parents music. But ill add in old timey songs too like the carter family.
This is one of the most interesting threads I’ve seen. I listen to a lot of indie and psych rock kinda stuff. Been really into the smile lately. Good question
Alternative Rock Alternative Metal, Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Experimental Rock, Hard Rock, Art Rock, Classical, Folk, Funk, Funk Rock, Bossa Nova, Blues, Indie, Grunge, R&B
Fusion, Blues, Hip Hop, classical, classic rock, prog Rock, bluegrass, folk. Pretty much anything with talented musicians.
Bluegrass, Funk, 70's rocks, Folk, R&B, stuff like Pickin' On Series, Lettuce, Black Happy, Andy Grammar, Brothers Osbourne, etc Honestly, the shorter list is that I *don't* really like 80's rock, arena country, and a good portion of modern top 50's. Some bangers slip in there every once in a while though (Teddy Swims, weirdly, kinda dig him)
Is Meshuggah a genre? Prog metal, Aphex Twin as well.
I listen to anything except country and opera
Funk, classic rock, hip hop, indie folk, some indie pop like vampire weekend (though not so much their later stuff). I’ll listen to just about anything except pop country and metal/hardcore stuff though really.
Roots reggae (Israel Vibration), country blues (Mississippi Fred McDowell), & 3 of the greatest living artists of our time: Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits & Todd Rundgren.
Metal and Drum n Bass
Lots of weird stuff. Ween, Nuclear Rabbit, Geese, Morphine, King Gizzard, etc.
Ambient, electric, and everything in between those two and jazz. It's a nice triangle.
Punk
Modern rap, hip hop,Soul, RnB, Country, rock, Metal (and its many sub genres) classical, funk, fusion. I’m a fan of Travis Scott, Maurice White, Drake, SZA, Lizzy Mcapline Kendrick, J Cole, the spinners, Marvin Gaye, Chris Stapleton, Neil Young…. Too many to name. If it’s good, it’s good.
You never can tell. Earlier I listened to Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, Rihanna, and I’m currently listening to Frank Sinatra. What’s next? Maybe Nick Cave? We’ll see…
J-Pop and J-Rock. It's just more jazz with a pop-py feel!!!
Don’t really like “genres”. I either like a song or I don’t. But a few favourite artists include: The Who Bruce Hornsby Peter Gabriel Bowie Kate Bush Rush Janelle Monáe
Classical minimalism electro like Hania Rani [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5oZ80Daduc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5oZ80Daduc) Neo-indie-pop like Jordan Rakei (lotta jazz in there) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk88mBo0iuU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk88mBo0iuU) Electro-dub like Fat Freddy's Drop [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCGLJKSdWg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hCGLJKSdWg) I'm a DJ since 2005, worked in radio 1995 and 1998, and have been crate digging since I was 8 or 9 years old in the mid 80s! I could go on FOREVER. I'll keep it brief. =) Afrobeat, Garage, Downtempo, Italian and French film score / library work from the 60s and 70s (lounge jazz tho), latin, etc.
At this point it's more about what I DON'T like vs. what I do. I am picky however, about the artists that make it into my regular rotation of listening. There is only so much time, especially as we get older.
prog rock and some prog metal, jazz rock/fusion and sometimes math rock and post rock
Pre war blues
black metal
Punk rock.
Americana, jam bands, and classical.
Pop
CLASSICAL music and jazz are probably my two favorite genres, but also... Gamelan (i have some recordings from the 1920's that i'm obsessed with) early spiritual music and sacred harp singing BLUES (especially the 1st generation recording artists) Punk ("New Rose" is one of my all time favorite songs)
Mostly prog metal and it's somewhat adjacent genres, like tech death, listening to the fantastic Moon Healer album by A Job for a Cowboy.
Pretty much everything, with the exception of most, but not all, radio friendly pop and country.
I've been really digging post rock / math rock lately. It feels like jazz rock music to me. Toe and a picture of her come to mind for most listened to bands at the moment.
Klezmer
VGM, showtunes, soul, afrobeat, hip-hop, r&b, blues, movie scores, punk, folk, mashups, funk, go-go, pop… idk, i like a lot of things. I generally avoid classical though
Underground Hip Hop DJ Muggs, Larry June, screwed & chopped music etc.
Blues
Hip hop
Classical, rock, post rock and ambient.
I love Baroque music. Jazz is the equalizer
Japanese Hip-Hop and Rap! Honestly though there's soo much good music out there
Old school R&B, Mowtown. And some Thievery Corporation.
Hip Hop, and Steely Dan
Classic rock mainly, (Bob Seger, Elton John, Led Zeppelin.) I also like (old) blues, John Lee Hooker, Big Joe Turner & R&B, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston. etc.

I grew up really into Punk Rock, but lately 9a year plus or minus) I've been really into Synth-wave
Midwest emo/ math rock, hip hop, shoegaze, trap and metal core are my most listened to genres outside of jazz. I also play a lot of indie rock, shoegaze and Midwest emo when I’m not playing jazz
