@Bobby, try going for something like THE YELLOWJACKETS - BOB JAMES or GROVER WASHINGTON JR, you might find them a little less erratic to listen to.

Get a copy of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." Listen to it.

Listen to it again.

If you don't get it the third time you probably never will.

Register and post your own events on the beijinger website.

Here it is, I'd wager far too heavy and manic for someone getting into jazz though.

Jazz comes in many forms - classical jazz, progressive jazz, improv jazz, New Orleans jazz, Chicago style...Jazz is very individualistic and pushes the talent and ability of the musician or vocalist to express the music in a creative style.

This probably didn't help answer your question. But I think it takes time to develop an appreciation for it and someone shouldn't judge whether it's 'good' or 'bad' without knowing the style of jazz being heard and there may be other forms which are more easily appreciated.

jazz is a lot like silky's life experience.

remembering to inhale and not forgetting to exhale.
spit or swallow?
all about choices and improv!

'a day in the life of silky'
minor blues in d

so you ran out of toilet paper and dont have money to get a new roll.
what does silky do?
(sax solo) skeet-boppidy-bah-bah-deeeeeeeeh
use the tumb.

havent had a meal in a couple of days?
(trumpet solo) waaaaaay-oh-waaaaaaaaaaay-oh-daaaaaaaaeeeeeeaaaaaay
street cats beware!

havent had a conversation with a real life person in months (online dont count, skippy!)
(drum solo) skeepitty-bam-boodlee-dam-va-va-va-vhooooooooooooom
(vocal ends on a maj/min 9th
with a trembling vibrato reminiscing of her 4th abortion/coke withdrawal period)
'a dead rat shooooooooo is a great listeneeeeeeeeeeer'

improv, baby.
thats jazz.
silky?
makes coltrane and miles look like 2 bitt, no-good, hang-wire-hoe-beatin' pimps!

oh yeah? well, let me ask you this: shut up!

'Jazz is the last refuge of the untalented. Jazz musicians enjoy themselves more than anyone listening to them does.'

Tony Wilson, god rest his soul.

Agree with TLK. On one hand, it takes a gifted musician to create good jazz. On the other hand, it can be difficult for someone else to interpret and appreciate it.

Paint your face black and drink rum and quote Jack Kerouac a lot.

Re: How to appreciate Jazz music???

Posted by: alex the droog on Oct 27, 2009 10:50pm

hey, they're not my words. Just quoting the late, great Tony Wilson.

But I really hate people who listen to 'intelligent' music and say 'oh, you're just not listening to it right, you need to be super intellectual to get it'

Utter b.s.. Same with classical music snobs. No, you're not more intelligent than me because you listen to Chopin. You may be more intelligent than me because I'm a thick c**t, but not because you listen to classical music or jazz and it speaks to you.

Man, I grew up with both in my house. I can't stand either.

Just my preference. Each to his own. Just don't try to intellectualise it.

Some crossover stuff like Us3, Ronny Jordan, Guru's Jazzmatazz or United Future Organization might also be a good introduction to jazz.

yep... "So What" by Ronnie Jordan is a good starter. Also look out for Candy Dulfer.
