Reasons to detest Jazz # 9

[Thumpalumpacus]

An eternity listening to any one musician would be hell. Man cannot live on bread alone, etc etc.

[Cyberman]

Oh, joy... yet another video-sodden thread that ties up my mobile browser. I can't find the words to thank you all enough.

I like how the anti-jazz thread turned into a jazz thread.

This Jazz music thing; I've tried Ringo, I've really tried.
If you have even a passing familiarity with Johnny Dankworth and Cleo Laine then now is the time to fess up. All your life experiences are tainted by the foul pestilence that is Punk Rock/Jazz music. You're mind has been poisoned.

"Doo bee doo doo bee doo be doo, Bap Bap!"...


Jazz is pesh, it always was and it always will be.

An eternity, or is that an infinity? In heaven listening to John Coltrane and his fucking trumpet? Please kill me now.

Edit; The usual 'your'

Edit; # 2 Spacing.

I also despise:

Country Music.
Folk music.
Morris Dance music.
That particularly shouty extreme heavy metal.
Mumford and fucking sons.
Oasis.
Opera
Blues
Elvis Presley

and many many more.

Jesus, you detest blues and Elvis?

The hell is wrong with you?

Not sure this is really jazz, but I do like Colin Stetson.

Wow, this is phenomenal.

I like old jazz like Cannonball Adderley, Art Blakey, Count Basie and others now, but as a tween and teen, I'd listen to a "smooth jazz/new age" redio station popular wit my peers' parents (I didn't get on too well with folks my age. Might have been my disability). Kind of funny seeing YouTubes of this kind of stuff now.

I actually don't like tis version quite like the recorded version, but I admire his athleticism to play as he does.

I like them both, actually. I would have never guessed it was done solo if I hadn't seen the live one though. I looked him up.

Kenny G famously set the world record for longest note ever played on a sax at 45 minutes by circular breathing with a soprano saxophone, the smallest of the four primary saxes... Given what he's doing on a bass, one might think Stetson could hold a note on a soprano for the rest of Kenny G's natural life if he wanted to. The melody of "Judges" is just his voice—he's singing into the horn while he plays. He uses what he calls a "dog collar mic"—a contact mic strapped to his throat—to record the melody of "Judges," as well as to amplify it during performances in large venues.

Uh, "Country" is sounds, not music. Just sayin'.

"My baby left me, my horse went lame,
I lost my money in a poker game" etc, ad infinitum ad nauseum.

[Cyberman]

The ultimate Country song:

"Wellll, since they took my momma off to prison,
Things down on the farm ain't bin the same.
Now they done and let her out the jailhouse,
She drove her goddamn truck into a train."

I have some taste.

To me Elvis sounds like the below.
