Do you like Jazz Music?

[Don Claybrook]

1. I voted yes

But I really don't care for newer "smooth jazz", unless you want to give me a handful of percodan to go with it.

[Shoeempress]

2. Consider puncturing my eardrums every time I hear it.

[progmom]

3. wow.

that's extreme! :wow:

[lilymidnite]

4. Makes my ears bleed ...

... especially if there's blaring trumpets in it.

[derby378]

5. Yes - a little of everything

From Glenn Miller to Dave Brubeck, from Allan Holdsworth to John Zorn.

[Allenberg]

6. Yes, very much so.

In high school, me and three friends started the band Us. It quickly folded. :(

[Taverner]

7. Love modern jazz EXCEPT for Al Di Meola

He annoys me....but Martin Medeski and Wood, Charlie Hunter, etc.... love it

[progmom]

14. if it makes any difference to you...

DiMeola is also a raging asshole.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Oh, Who Isn't?

You ought to know by now that all musicians have the RA in them. Some just hide it better than others. Take for instance, me. I don't hide it well at all. Apparently, neither does Al.

13. Well, aren't YOU just special!

Great photo! :yourock:

[redqueen]

10. Oh, yes.

Yes yes yes.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Absolutely Yes, Except If It's Called Smooth Jazz

That's just pop music with good players. It tends to be kind of boring and rhythmically uninteresting.

I'm a bop, hard bop, postbop guy, but i like most of the subgenres.
