learn theory

>>69066610
how do you explain any music you like

>>69066711
learn theory

>>69066610
Just learning theory won't really help you so ignore the people saying that. A better way is to read how other people write about jazz and decide whether or not you agree with them or not.

>>69066610
If you don't play an instrument don't bother pretending to like jazz, you're just lying to yourself and you will embarrass yourself in public.

>How the hell do you explain why you like or dislike jazz?

Why the hell would you ever feel like you need to explain why you like or dislike any music?

The very idea that you should have to explain your tastes is the foundation upon which music critics are born.

Pretty much everybody has two ears, and these days you can hear everything or at least extensively preview it for free. So all that matters is what you liked.

Tell us what you like, anon, we'll figure out on our own if (and/or why) we like it. Put Scaruffi/Christgau/etc out of business.

this. Also Cecil Taylor was a bad muh-fuh.

>>69066783
then what's the point of this board?

just to post a picture of an album and say either "i like it" or "I don't like it"?

>>69066767
fuck you

>Cecil Taylor was a bad muh-fuh
how so?

I mean, no shit? There's no such thing as an "educated" or "informed" taste set in a subjective medium. The closest thing you can do to achieving true patricianship is listen to music from all over the world

Everything subjective is made of parts that can be discussed objectively. Only a fool would disagree.
