[QUOTE="d0dja, post: 206288, member: 2244"] I like jazz, but I struggle with a lot of it... stuff from the very early days is a bit hard to take as the recordings are so poor (primitive tech), then there was a sweet spot in the 60s/70s, then it started to climb up it's own bum, IMHO, becoming less and less accessible and more and more fussy, technical and just plain weird. A lot of newer stuff is not music, it's a maths problem made audible. :Ooooooh: Which is why I prefer a lot of African jazz to American/Euro, as the African stuff is still inclined to be musical and emotional rather than stupidly complex. People use to dance to jazz, they used to rock and rage and sweat and jol. Jazz was about emotion and expression and letting it all hang out. Jack Kerouac went on and on about it. Nowadays too much jazz is egghed and self-indulgent. IMHO, of course :coffee: [/QUOTE]
