I don't get jazz

I love Dixieland jazz, but regular jazz seems hopelessly bland and without emotion to me. It really doesn’t do anything for me. I guess my taste in music is primitive. I really have only the barest knowledge of music.

maybe you search for something that you can’t find in a complex music such as jazz
i’m not big jazz fan either but when i do click with jazz it’s because i see some story ride above the noise

Smooth jazz is a bit of a trigger for me cause my abusers office was always playing it so I associate it with bad things but I’ve started feeling a little better lately

I’m with @jukebox 30s and 40s and big band for me. I love the stuff.

I don’t really like listening to jazz on my headphones but in the dim and distant past I’ve been to see jazz live and really liked it.

Same here, I like old-school 30s/40s jazz and big band. The newer jazz sounds a bit like elevator music to me.

Not big into traditional jazz but I can really get into swing music.

Try some Django Reinhardt if you can’t get into traditionalist jazz; swing might be more your thing.

I kind of like smooth jazz.

I’ve never got into Jazz. When I was at school there was a group of boys who were really into 'Bitch’s brew ’ by Miles Davis. They also liked people like Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock.

My parents played a lot of jazz/big band music… I love the energy. I like a variety of jazz, but I understand that some of it can be headache-inducing. I posted a few of my favorites. Life affirming :grin:

I love jazz, and I do think there’s good contemporary jazz.

I like Norah Jones’ jazz fusion. Don’t know why she isn’t more popular.

I also like Diana Krall, The Hot Sardines, and Joey Alexander is a prodigy worth checking out.
