fredsimon Apr 16 2013 at 12:57 AM	Indeed I was, hman01 ... thanks for mentioning it.
mugsy Apr 14 2013 at 5:14 PM	For me, this is like asking: What is your favorite CD? It all comes down to my mood in the moment and often, what I am doing. Pat has been quoted many times saying that he doesn’t like to think of music in genres: that all music is music and to break it down to thinking I only like rock...or new jazz or traditional jazz or classical, can really take away from the concept of MUSIC. I feel the same about decades - Sure the 60’s were fun & explosive and I am really happy to have grown up during that period, but it is now 2013 and I look forward to new music by many new and established musicians.
hman01 Apr 12 2013 at 12:05 PM	I loved the 80s.Not so much for pop music,but for the introduction of the compact disc.It seemed that there was alot of new music coming out then,that wasn’t available before.Many specialty labels like Windham Hill,Private Music,Narada etc.That’s when the term "New Age" came in(for much lack of a better term).A lot of this was great music.You were on a few of those releases,weren’t you Fred?
franksexton Apr 11 2013 at 4:42 PM	has 1830’s met "the test of time" ?
bluepno Apr 11 2013 at 8:04 AM	Right on Fred...those hits last a long time.
fredsimon Apr 10 2013 at 9:41 PM	Yes, Mendelssohn but even more so Chopin, Brahms, and Schumann.
mario toni Apr 10 2013 at 2:59 AM	70’s!
Kooltrane Apr 09 2013 at 5:12 PM	Groove on those Mendelssohn vibes, eh?
fredsimon Apr 08 2013 at 9:52 PM	While I love music from many different decades, I’m quite partial to the 1830s.
franksexton Apr 08 2013 at 10:24 AM	there is no "best" , only "favorite".
BobSmith Apr 08 2013 at 9:36 AM	60’s, with the 70’s a very close second.
Tom Rudd Apr 08 2013 at 5:40 AM	Hands down the 60’s. I feel very fortunate to have grown up and witnessed the music that came out in the 60’s. There will never be a time like it again.
blisterfree Apr 07 2013 at 11:44 PM	All of the above and none of the above. Decades don’t make music. Musicians do.
bluepno Apr 07 2013 at 8:53 PM	’70’s,jazz/rock/progressive/ec m)’60’s, (coltrane/miles/beatles/stones )’’50’s (blue note/ellington/oscar peterson),’40’s ( Lester Young/Billie/Tatum)’00’s(youtu be/spotify/cloud sheer access to old and new,’90’s(luckily Pat held the torch/ecm expanded into its new series),’80’s (scary)...the dread direct bass, drum machines.
