I do realize that the word musical is subjective.
Not trying to post negative things but trying to figure out why I can't understand it and why some people love it. The only two places where I find Jazz good:
- For in-depth music theory understanding
- Porn (because it is better than silence and stays in the background for you to focus :mrgreen: )
I feel bad for missing such a musical color from my life that others seem to enjoy. There are some old and childhood jazz songs that I am okay with. I am generalizing things a little but you get the idea.
To me personally, it sounds like this:
- Corny.
- Random, most of the time.
- Not too memorable
- A little too dissonant,
- Doesn't grab much attention, other than the rhythm part maybe.
- Goes nowhere, just moves in circles. unresolved.
- Sometimes, it sounds as if someone is forcing a musician to improvise at gunpoint.
- A lot of popular jazz progressions build up tension and then just leave you there. Even a progression back to your root sounds like you're in the middle of nowhere, thanks to those 7ths.
So here is my question:
What do you like about jazz or your favorite jazz songs (other than the fact that they aren't the same pop progressions)? How would you describe the feeling that you get from classical as well as modern jazz?
