Jazz...?
    #8020462 - 02/13/08 11:39 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

Is it me or does all Jazz sound exactly the same? My co-worker was playin me some jazz albums and while I liked them, I honestly could not say that one song or artist sounded any different from the next.

Maybe Jazz was made for smart people. I'm gonna go listen to Daft Punk now because that shit makes sense to me.

All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

Jazz is difficult to appreciate if your not a musician. Much like classical music, jazz is extremely complex harmonically. Because of it's complexity and your average listener's lack of ear training, it is often difficult to distinguish between different aspects of the music. Take a jazz or general music appreciation/history course at your local community college.

jazz is usually pretty intellectual music for the most part. playing jazz well involves a great deal of understanding in music theory and all that crap so it is kind of the 'musicians music' whether you like it or not does not change that.

and not all of it sounds the same. maybe all the shit your co-worker played sounded the same, but in the world of jazz there are many sub-genres and styles. i prefer some of the more simple jazz with a good solid rhythm going on. slow tempo jazz is some of my favorite as well. it's very beautiful music sometimes. the really fast, somewhat dissonant jazz with all the crazy chord progressions and more free form style is cool in small doses but after awhile it is too much and does start to sound the same imo. at the same time though i respect it and it can be fun to try and wrap your head around it.

seriously though, saying all "jazz" sounds the same is like saying all rock sounds the same whether it's the grateful dead or slayer. it's a broad generalization to say the least.

man listen to some coltrane or davis and tell me that doesn't blow your mind....

the stuff they do is ridiculous, i can't comprehend how anyone can play like that... it seems like they breath the right notes effortlessly through the instrument...

anyway happy hunting! i'm not the biggest jazz fan but i can appreciate it when its playing

Jazz is a very broad type of music. Some types do have similar patterns and rhythms but each type is unique. Even if you think all jazz sounds similar it is a catalyst for many types of popular music and should be appreciates either way.

I think free jazz and Dixieland sound quite different.

That's a purely modern western notion.  For example, in the middle ages, pitches were slightly lower than they are now, and the sitar in Indian music uses all kinds of different pitches.

Although it's not my favorite style, electronica utilizes just about any frequency out there, complete with all manner of inflections.
