In Reply to: Does anyone listen to entire works from a single artist? posted by rlawry on November 19, 2002 at 08:08:36:
Lots of them - Coltrane, Miles, Monk, Mingus, John Zorn (that's a HUGE challenge), Ornette, Beatles, and many others.Besides the overall growth, you can follow the evolution of a single piece of music. Case in point, Trane's "My Favorite Things". At the end of his life, the melody was barely recognizable as he had spent years playing it and dissecting it until it became simply a springboard for exhaustive soprano playing.
