Have you ever wondered how directly art (in all its wondrous forms) affects & influences us, our daily lives & our tastes?
I've just finished binge-watching four (!!!!) seasons of the American TV show 'Bosch'...
Harry, the main character in it, listens to a lot of jazz. And it is used extensively throughout the show's soundtrack, too.
I listened to a little Miles Davis in my art school years (from the late 80's - early 90's). But it's one style of music that doesn't feature largely in my (very large & eclectic) music collection. I think I have sold most of my Davis CDs over the years.
But now (well), this has happened. In the last week I have found myself listening to more & more jazz. And really, really enjoying it!
So, there you go! An example of art (television, music) influencing my life and my choices...
Thanks Dunedin Library!! And, I guess, Harry Bosch (and your creators) too!!!
