Its something I don't understand. Music snobs lump Jazz and Classical together as the "superior" music as opposed to Popular music. Classical I understand- it has lasted all these years for a reason. But Jazz, I don't get it. Jazz has a lot more in common with Popular music- it just sounds like a bunch of musicians got together and can't decide on which song to play. Also, little emotion in Jazz.
I have nothing against Jazz musicians- I do agree it takes skill and all of that. But why is it considered an "elevated" form of music? This is true in most colleges and universities even- they have a Jazz Department. They do not have a Country and Western department. Its complete opposite of Classical music to my ears. I don't hate Jazz, to me its nice for background music at a coffee shop or bookstore, but to sit down and listen to it , no thanks!
In Classical there is more emotion usually, although I don't understand I-talian Operas very well. But I see why people respect Classical music as a higher level of music- and I don't take offense at that. But why Jazz?

Stop acting like a passive aggressive bitch, it makes you seem like an idiot.

Not all music snobs do that, only those who like jazz.
If you listened to jazz, you might not feel that way.
Like, improvisation is really cool. Jazz is *pure* feeling, it doesnt exclude feeling but tries to reach it directly. That's why there's so much folk-esque and world jazz out there

10/10 Best album ever
>>73451874
because it's improvised theres arguably much more emotion in jazz, each instrument is each performers individual voice speaking
>it just sounds like a bunch of musicians got together and can't decide on which song to play.
maybe listen to more of it because that sentence is just dumb
>>73452567

>>73452589
What's wrong with you, why are you so angry?
> I don't hate Jazz, to me its nice for background music at a coffee shop or bookstore, but to sit down and listen to it , no thanks!

>>73452645
im hi test
fuck would you know about it?
>>73452935
No, you're retarded.
Or had a bad childhood or something.
Someone who can't control their own emotions is in a certain state of impotence.
>>73452987
no.
youre retarded.
You really are clueless, OP. Maybe try reading a book next time
>>73451874
are you completely ignoring the blues that is one of the most emotional genres ever
>>73451874
>it just sounds like a bunch of musicians got together and can't decide on which song to play. Also, little emotion in Jazz.
so you're not a musician and are unable to appreciate jazz
I found the problem
>>73451874
I agree to some extent. The emotional range of jazz is limited when compared to classical, rock or hip hop, but there's a lot of nuance within its confines.
I also don't think there's a single jazz composer who's superior to Debussy and Ravel, say.
But it's delightful music that I get easily in the mood for and that's all that really matters to me in the end.
lol newfags

>Debussy and Ravel
Is that the best you got, challenger?
>>73451874
there's no emotion in classical music. I'm sorry but it's boring as fuck.
At least jazz has so many variations, such as hard bop, cool, bossa nova and free jazz.
It's not considered elevated form of music. it's music. stop trying to be a pretentious cunt
