JAZZ IS DEAD

You have no idea what jazz is

Could be the "free-form jazz" gag from Spongebob a direct reference to this Steve Albini's rant?

what a hack, honestly

he's right

>Christiania is a squalid, trashy string of alleys with rag-and-bone men selling drugs, tie-dye and wretched food.
Almemi can go off himself, Copenhagen is awesome

He's just talking about the Freetown of Christiania

It's always funny to me when somebody tries to criticize a genre that they clearly know absolutely nothing about.

if you agree with this leave

I read something where a writer said that you have some sort of aversion to jazz?
It's a fun party trick, but I am allergic to jazz. I was raised to be a jazz musician, my father was a jazz musician and I was steeped in jazz from the moment my ears blinked open, which is why I am immune to jazz. And my main reason why I love dissing jazz is jazz musicians. The problem with jazz musicians is that they are all crap. It's sort of like jazz is the refuge of the talent-less. If you really want to be a musician and you are prepared to really work hard at it, but you don't have the gift and you don't have any soul and you don't have any talent, jazz is what you should do; because all you need to do is just spend hours training your fingers to wiggle very quickly and you'll be a hero in the jazz world. Not so in blues. In blues you need talent, you need X factor, you need heart, you need to have lived a life, you have to have something to say, you need to be an actual musician to play the blues. Jazz, any fool can do it; all you gotta do is practice.

And do you think that hold true for the elite, for folks like Jack DeJohneete?

I love Jack DeJohneete. Some of the others – Miles [Davis], mostly crap. Some of his early records where he had Tony Williams, great, I love those. But mostly it was crap. He was out of tune and he was a fucking junky and it sounded like shit. It was utterly preposterous. The king just wasn't wearing any clothes. Coltrane, same thing. [in a condescending voice] "Love supreme, love supreme" it's a joke

this

and also how can someone whose songs have boring structure and the only element that could make someone like it is edginess say that jazz is boring?

Is jazz pronounced 'jay-azz'?

triggered af right now

Because jazz musicians have "complete freedom" apparently. Albini calls his music "rock" so I guess that makes it ok that it's cliche power chord crap.

He hates the more straightforward stuff. He would love the modal, free, avant garde, etc. stuff.

He hates the more technical modal, free, avant garde style stuff. He would love the more straightforward kinda stuff (already mentioning Miles+Tony and Jack.)
