I've only become interested in jazz relatively recently, and have been listening to both trad, and what I'll call avante (I'm happy to be corrected) by which I mean the likes of Ben Hall and Mike Khoury, Hedvig Mollestad Trio, and Fire! Orchestra. Anything with a piano is out - not just jazz mind, I have a pathological dislike of piano, although electronic keyboards are OK.

I still listen to some music from my mis-spent youth: Captain Beefheart, High Tide, The Great Society, (early) Fleetwood Mac, Leonard Cohen, but like you, Peter, I now have all kinds of stuff on record, both ancient and (relatively) modern, from traditional folk to Japanese metal. Never been into what's known here as the 'Archetypal Genesis, Floyd and Yes Generation Stuff' though.

Sandy Denny era Fairport, British folk  rock and a weird band called Hexvessel.   I used to think  it all a bit twee and music for old farts, so I fear that I have become an old fart.  I blame Mikael Akertfedlt for turning my eye in that direction away from the more electric

David Bowie, I've started building up my collection. Ordered "Divine Symmetry" in July and it was to be released on November 15 but there was a bit of confusion, that date was for the CD not the record, Phoned up the shop to find out what was going on and they told me, that was the date we were given then a few weeks later we were told that the record was not coming out until Feb 2023, as he said to me it was a bit late for people like me that had pre-ordered it.

I'm listening to Kodo drums and other instruments on the album 'Warabe' which is a hifi oldster thing as I hated drum solos when younger...

I think I'd put it the other way around and say Fairport (and Fotheringay) era Sandy Denny. For some reason I've never been struck on her solo stuff, odd I know, as she was a terrific singer. I bought the original Fairport and Fotheringay albums, and bought them again on CD. I enjoyed them then, but have recently been appreciating them all over again.

Music classified as 'choral'.
The choir at the end of Holst's 'Neptune' probably started the interest.
Now often listen to music like the Tallis Scholars Allegri Miserere & much else.

Would never have listened to this type of music when younger.
