You'd have a hard time finding a more diverse group of musicians than the ones that comprise the Berklee faculty. And even more varied than the teachers themselves is the music they listen to. We recently asked members of the Berklee faculty to list their favorite five recordings of all time. If you browse through their selections, you'll find that their listening tastes cover a wider range of music than you're likely to uncover in the bins of your local record store. Faculty member Didi Stewart included Nick Drake on her list while Mick Goodrick selected Bela Bartok, among others. James Smith's picks ranged from Sgt. Pepper's to Stravinsky and Matthew Nicholl's list included Steely Dan and Wayne Shorter. You'll also find Top Five lists in our News section as part of feature stories written about faculty members and such visiting luminaries as Steve Vai and Herb Alpert.So browse through the Top Five lists, and check back, as more faculty members tell you what they've been listening to.

Some could claim that jazz peaked in 1959; I don't agree but I can sure see what they're talking about! |
