Tell me about Jazz

[Pyrrho Epoche]

Yep, a seagull poster, flies in, craps all over everything, and disappears.

OP's original question having long been ignored.

I like that analogy---Also as fine as backing up a dump truck full of manure, beep beep beep beep, dumping ...........driving away..

Learning to walk & solo on All The Things You Are has come in handy for me, everywhere from the symphony to the Tom Petty cover band.

Cool, something for me to try.

As a point of accuracy, the OP of the thread wanted to know more about Jazz, the poster under discussion is not the OP and just dropped in to say it was boring and inoffensive, an opinion he or she is perfectly entitled to, as agreed already.

Thank you. I stand corrected.

Sorry (actual) OP.

No worries.

A bit of an OTT statement

So all opinions are equally valid? The guy who once heard a Kenny G record's opinion on "jazz" is equally valid to the guy's opinion that's spent 50 years listening and studying the history of the music from 1917 to the present?

Well, all righty then!

Y'all just carry on, I won't bother to introduce any more actual information, since this has just been declared an information-free zone!

An opinion is simply that...an opinion, regardless of how he/she came to it. If someone heard a Kenny G record and liked it, then his/her opinion is that Kenny G is good. It is HIS valid opinion. The fifty years history guy's opinion will be different and also valid. People are free to decide for themselves what opinion to take on board or throw out. You don't have to spend fifty years listening to, and studying the history of music to enjoy a jazz (or any music record) and to form a personal opinion about the music on that record.

In the end...it is all just...well... music.

This is, to borrow a phrase, all rather boring and repetitive at this point.

For the OP, I happen to love the outer edges of jazz more than straight ahead or bebop.

Fair enough. I won't hijack the thread any further.

Me too. Though as my friends keep telling me...it is too "outer edged".

Here is one of my favourites. Unfortunately he is no longer with us.

Let's talk about ducks, or Indian food. Or ducks that eat Indian food. Or Indian food made out of ducks.

Ducks are delicious!
