The less annoying things in jazz music

[Felix]

Why not give this discussion a more positive twist?

The less annoying thing in jazz for me is the diversity of the music itself, and the possibility to develop one's tastes in so many directions inside a musical genre. Or, as Boris Vian put it: "Remember that your ultimate right as a listener is to say: "This is what I like et je vous emmerde"".

[Gary Sisco]

There's more than a lifetime's listening in jazz for anyone, even the most diehard diehard couldn't hear all of it or even close.

[Gerardo A]

Man, it annoys me to walk into a jazz club and not being able to smoke.

Wait, wrong thread...

[Cem]

The groupies.

[Ron Thorne]

Having the good fortune to not only hear but meet and get to know some superb jazz musicians, then learn how truly humble most of them are.

this is true

For many a jazz fan the music is a continuous inspiration. The gift that keeps on giving.

It's like a drug with no side effects.

I'd have to question anyone who tires of the music for not "advancing" fast enough. Sorta like Gary said, there will never be enough time to absorb all of the styles or artists past or present.

No matter what kind of day I've had or am having.
No matter what happens, jazz can make it even better.

I love playing the music REAL LOUD at home and having my wife run in the room and yell about how great it is....

It's like a drug with no side effects.

It is quite addictive, though.

Some of the other Eric Alexander covers, JamesH (other than your avatar, I mean)...now those are some of the least annoying things in jazz!

I knew immediately without looking any further that it was a CD from the Tokyo, Japan label Venus.

The entire catalogue is filled with semi-clad or nude women on the covers.

This past Sunday I had the pianist John DiMartino on the show with his 4th Venus CD and nude woman on the cover.

That it would take more than a lifetime to hear it all wasn't a statement limited by me to the past. Where does the past begin? I became a dedicated jazz guy age 15. There's been 38 more years of jazz played and recorded, since, and counting ... No one could listen to all that's been made since. No one could listen to all of it that's being made in the present. And so on ...

Somewhere along the journey of my current radio 'daze', someone pointed out to me that per average year there about 3,000 releases that come under the jazz unbrella.

times_X38 that comes to 114,000 individual recordings since you got into it.............get back to work. You gotta lot to catch up on!

Girraffe's don't eat burgers.........look at the length of the neck on that chick!!

[Gary Sisco]

Almost as long as her fingers.

I went to the office this afternoon (still here at this posting).

from a few hours ago, a customer at our store

There she was.................l-o-o-o-o-n-g neck; rail thin and tall, along with coworkers commenting how the gal needs a meal deperately.

Two toned pinkish/red and blue hair, but bodily,extremely like our album cover gal

There seems to be more collaboration and less ego trips. Leave the prima donnas to rock.
