Why not learn from her?

I think this is an issue some guys have, they feel they need to be the expert or authority on a subject.

But I think it would be a lot more romantic to acquire that knowledge while you're with her, rather than finding it on your own to feel like you can keep up with her.

I asked her about it, and she didn't really feel comfortable trying to teach it, apart from the recommended list given.
I'm absolutely on-board with that notion, but I would still like at least some basic understanding- to better understand what she's throwing at me.

In Jazz you need to appreciate mood and improv.
The mood is the feeling that the piece gives off. Moods can be very different, ranging from calm and relaxing to very fast and exciting.

Improv is just the individual skill of the player and is what makes jazz, jazz. This is what most jazz players look for when listening.

If you appreciate both those aspects then it'll be bery easy to listen to any sort of jazz, though getting started I'd pick and instrument that you like (like sax) and listen to the best sax players. From there it'll be easy to branch out.

Jazz is an acquired taste. It sounds pretentious as fuck, but the truth is that it's just dense as fuck.for good reason though, jazz is the fundamental building block for virtually every genre

If you already have the classic artists lined up, try more modern artists like Guthrie Govan.you could also try fusion artists/genres

I got into it backwards from funk/disco to fusion

I still think that there ARE wrong notes and there is a lot of cacophonous jazz.

Brand New Heavies first album
Dexter Wansel Life on Mars
Al Di Meola Elegant Gypsy

These are some good fusion albums.

Django Reinhardt and Wes Montgomery are who I like because I play guitar.

I hate standing bass because I love funk bass playing. If you want to hear some good bass then listen to Jamiroquai.
