Why does /mu/ hate jazz?

but i love jazz. my favorite recording would have to be davis and coltrane's 1954 blue note collab, "the list could go on"

Blame jazz not us. It has the lowest percentage of free previews available via streaming and it has the highest album costs which are then most often blind buys. Their fault not ours.

I don't hate jazz I hate the kids in jazz threads who act like the lesser known artists are actually better than the well knowns like Miles Davis and Mingus.

Almost all of the classic albums and artists are available on Spotify. Not really an excuse.

>>71448440
Isn't that every thread with every genre on /mu/

I don't get it and I have no desire or need to get it.

>>71448621
For me, I buy physical copies. Fuck streaming

>>71448645
Mooooostly

Only contrarians shit on autechre for example, but I just find it particularly unacceptable for jazz :p

>>71448669
well that must make it hard for you to discover and listen to new music of any genre

Jazz is great. I love Monk, Mingus, and Miles.

It's degenerate urban music for those with brains so rotted by television and coca cola that they can no longer think coherently or comprehend the sublime.
>>71448645
Not in /classycool/, exempting a few edgy Mozart underraters.

>>71448954
>degenerate urban music
>comprehend the sublime

having fun in your undergraduate philosophy course?

>>71448954
Where the fuck do you see urban degenerates bumping jazz standards?
Sounds like people I'd want to hang with

Depends on the jazz. I like older jazz music. Not a huge fan of modern stuff

good chart, id swap bitches brew and mingus ah um myself

>>71449156
Depending on the type of "older jazz," you might like Ambrose Akinmusire's The Painted Savior... from 2014. It's a similar sound to the late 50s/early 60s Blue Note artists.

I actually got that recommendation from someone else recently. I'm not bug into Post-Bebop stuff, but I'll check it out. Thanks for the rec

Thanks. Mingus Ah Um is incredible, but Bitches Brew has that nostalgic value too. The trumpet melody on Pharaoh's Dance is one of my favorite pieces of Jazz ever.

>>71449229
For bebop-ish there's also Bird Calls by Rudresh Mahanthappa which is a bunch of reworkings of Charlie Parker tunes. That was last year, I think.

>>71449353
>claims to like rock
>doesn't listen exclusively to Woody Guthrie and Gene Autrey

>>71448405
What are you talking about

>>71449353
Dead Man Blues is my alarm, actually

Yeah baby

I don't hate jazz, I just hate jazz elitists, along with all other elitists too.

>>71451689

>>71451784
No, it makes me a normal person using common sense to call them out of their bullshit.
