Classical music represents old fashioned in movies.

If a movie wants to have a piano and trumpets and shit, but don't want the scene to be associated with anything old fashioned they use Jazz. Because Jazz is newer, and is hip and cool.

nigger "music" that was the first one to be played in non nigger places

Yeah....in the 1940's
>>
Well white people can't into other cool music like blacks, so jazz is often the closest thing

Which makes it hundreds of years newer than classical music.

A movie uses Jazz when it wants a scene to have a classy atmosphere, but doesn't want it to be old fashioned. And everyone associates classical music in films with old fashioned.

>>79897957
its just chazelle that's obsessed with it
he said his next flick won't have jazz in it but who knows?
thats his gimmick now
>>
It's one of the truest and fewest original American art forms. Not surprised you faggots don't know that.
>>
Jazz is a very advanced and difficult to learn form of music.
>>
Fusion is way better

Ever notice that in movies, the bad guy loves Classical Music (usually by German Composers) and the good guy enjoys Jazz. I wonder (((why))) that is.
>>
>>79897957
Jazz is comfy as fuck when it's good. The problem is some people think all jazz is good but the reality is some of it sucks.

Same shit with country music....fucking plebs just latch on to a genre and can't appreciate anything else.
>>
Jazz is romantic, conjures up images of nightclubs, urban life, Tony Bennett, etc. You know, swag.
>>
More like an obsession with jizz, if you catch my drift.
>>
>>79898192
So are a lot of genres
>>
>>79897957
It's objectively the most interesting modern form of music. Not saying it's the best, just interesting.

Grand Piano didn't have Jazz, explain that

>>79898219
classical music is associated with aristocracy which has been the constant enemy of any freedom loving republic
>>

Jazz has Jewish roots.

Need I say more?

>>79898352
Originated in Africa.

I like Jazz but I prefer Classical.
>>
>>79898334
>Grand Piano
didn't direct it so it wasn't his choice
>>
>>79898429
He wrote it. How the heck could jazz fit into it, do you honestly think a classically trained pianist would just have a jazz song in the middle of his set?
>>
>>79898333
>rock'n'roll
>pop music
>synthwave
>>
>>79898472
you don't really know anything about music do you?
>>
>>79898464
he said it himself that he's a big jazz fan m8
>>
>>79898095
Yet Debussy's Etudes and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring still sound 100 years ahead of any jazz written after it

Really makes me think
>>
>>79898557
>jazz
>written
shows what you know
>>
classical music = straight white men making ordered music

Jazz = black men or minorities making disordered music

Just because he really likes something doesn't mean he has to put it in every fricken movie

There's a reason why one is a popular genre and the other is dead outside of forced events.
>>

Well it's the most highest form of art that has ever originated in America, so... that.

Yes, because everyone at the orchestra was forced to be there

Bebop doesn't encompass all of Jazz

and it was a very compositional minded Folk music especially during Ellington and Wallers time

Still, the semantics doesn't negate my post

Hollywood isn't obsessed with it, that's the only movie this year about Jazz.

No jazz negro has surpassed any of these men at the keyboard

Piano died with Debussy and Scriabin

Everything else is just catching up or inferior deviation
>>
>>79898701
well your faggotry will continue to negate most things you say in life. be advised
>>
>>79898589
he got good reviews directing a jazz movie
cranked out 2 more
realizes its become his gimmick
says next flick wont have it
grand piano has nothing to do with it since it wasn't his decision
if that first jazz movie failed he wouldn't have made whiplash, etc

Classical Music has stood the test of time over hundreds of years and almost every person, regardless of how little they know about music, is familiar with at least one piece of Beethoven, Bach, or Mozart while very few people can say they've heard Miles Davis or John Coltrane so who are you kidding?
>>
>>79898783
He didn't do it with 10 CL
He didn't do it with Grand Piano

He can be trusted, he doesn't want to look like a drangus by falling back on his word.
>>
>>79898762
they are cold
you just know the guy composing them weren't being passionate but where more like putting pieces together, it doesn't come from inspiration like jazz it comes from assembling parts and slowly building something

it's like comparing a painting to architecture, one is a creative process the other is a cold and sterile process that might end up looking nice I guess
>>
>>79898828
i don't mind the jazz music as soundtrack, i just don't want the story to be about another jazz musician

"Refined" music for "refined" people. The usual 'my taste is "objectively" better than yours, thus I am better'.
>>
>>79898974
Opera is so fucking gay lmao Classical is alright, boring ass hell, but can set a more reserved tone. Jazz is kino
