What the hell is wrong with you? As we speak, I've got the Miles Davis (with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams and Ron Carter) "Live at the Plugged Nickel" box set on shuffle -- there is very little that moves me as much as this stuff. How can you be so dismissive? It's like I don't know you anymore. You and me? We're done.

    I hate jazz. Well, not "hate", but I'd much rather listen to other things.

      The only music I refuse to listen to is country and rap. As the local jazz station plays only 2 minutes of commercials/hour...

        Almost all jazz sounds exactly the same to me, and I find it boring. When jazz mixes with classical, it gets a lot more interesting, though; I'm thinking Shostakovich's jazz suite and Ticheli's Blue Shades. Then again, I have a very eclectic taste in music - Romantic-era classical, Spanish pop and some alt-pop like the Ting Tings is most of what I listen to. Er.

        Ace, I love you. (Platonically.)

          Sorry, you fail at jazz. :P Listen to Jelly Roll Morton and then listen to Eric Dolphy and tell me they're the same.

            Of course in theory there's variety. But it's like listening to Baroque-era music for me, it just puts me to sleep.

              Nah, you're just bullshitting now. There's worlds of difference between say, dixieland, latin jazz, and avant-garde stuff with 30 min. flute solos. It's like the difference between baroque and 20th century classical.

                Now you're the one who's bullshitting. A few score years of jazz mirrors several centuries of classical music? There's easily more difference between John Cage and Johann Sebastian Bach than, say, dixieland jazz and Latin jazz.

                  True, I am bullshitting, it's not a great analogy. However, it's far less bullshit than claiming that there is no difference between, say King Oliver and Anthony Braxton, or Art Tatum and John Zorn, or Ella Fitzgerald and Albert Ayler, or Chet Baker and Sun Ra, ad infinitum.
