It's worth mentioning the immense contribution Jazz made to modern rock, not just through the early black rock and roll bands -- and thus the sound in general -- but the infamous "Hendrix Chord" which Jimi Hendrix borrowed from Jazz guitar. It became an iconic sound in rock and roll.

Or the Jazz influenced drumming in the classic rock Rolling Stones, prog rock Rush, even death metal bands like Cryptopsy.

The idea of calling such a creative and inspired and liberating form of artistic expression "degenerate" is just appalling.

The only jazz I remember enjoying was live in New Orleans. The problem I have with the rest of the genre is that it is not degenerate enough.

I listened a lot to jazz, and even went to a good lot of jazz concerts, usually in pubs. I don't like genres, though. Even genres that rise above those that die quickly have loads of uninspired music in them.

Yes, but only Dixieland. I was indifferent to jazz until I heard jazz trombonist Turk Murphy perform in Schrafft's restaurant in New York City in 1954. I was in New York to take the Graduate Record Exam. at Columbia University. I was having dinner at Schrafft's but, because it was election day, I couldn't get a drink until the polls closed at 8:00 PM.

So, I was dawdling over dinner waiting for the bar to open, when the floor show began. I forget whether Turk Murphy was playing with his own band or another, but I loved his sound and his style. Then and there, I acquired a wild enthusiasm for Dixieland jazz which has endured, tempered a bit by age, to this day.

Rather than serving to lure white women into the arms of black men, as the Mud-bearer seems, in his ignorance of real jazz, to think, the lyrics of many, perhaps the majority of the early Dixieland jazz songs are laments over mistreatment by one's lover, a common theme in almost every nation's folk music.

He has to have been strongly influenced by your musical tastes. And from your posts and correspondence, you have great taste in classic rock and blues. You have seen some great concerts, I am still jealous that you saw Queen back in the day.:) I think its great you have a child playing music. My son plays guitar all the time, and I don't always like his taste in music, I realize he is young and trying out all kinds, and he should. I wish I had started playing guitar when I was 12, not waiting till 46. It is hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

I mainly enjoy the Jazz of the '50s up to the '70s, Bebop, Avant-Garde, Fusion and Free Jazz being my absolute favorite genres in Jazz. However I am not that passionate about Vocal Jazz, it's just to predictable. My favorite Jazz artists are mostly blacks, but there are also some very good white musicians.

One thing which the preceding posts reveal clearly is that there are so many styles of jazz that the word itself means entirely different things to different people. If a person replies "yes" to the question "Do you like jazz", the next question has to be "What kind of jazz ?"

I've already put in my vote (the only one) for Dixieland, but it seems clear that the others who answered "Yes" had something quite different in mind when they answered affirmatively.

Now, we need another poll to determine the relative popularity among Apricity Forum members of the various other styles of jazz.

Well much like all sorts of other kinds of music, "jazz" is a vast field as you know. Say the word "classical" music to one and you'll get anything from chamber music to grand operas I'm sure. The same thing occurs when one says "rock" music as well.

Set up a thread and another poll, Gorm, and I'll be sure to participate! :thumb001:

Yep, I studied it extensively for a few years. Played upright and electric bass in a Jazz quartet in High School and currently (first year of college) have taken a break from it to study more classically inclined music (and not so classically, ie; 20th century classical).

Jazz theory always really irritated me. Especially people who hold the style up on some sort of immaculate pedestal of be-all-end-all music theory. It was originally an ear style played by people who knew little to nothing about the mechanics of the music they played, it was an after analysis using Western classical standards.

60+ years ago:

Oh look, I just changed keys every bar because I'm an illiterate African American addicted to opiates.

40 years ago to present:

Holy shit, Jazz musicians were geniuses!

But I love the stuff.

Jazz it's music for the soul, even more than classical one. Pop or rock requires a conscient awareness for it, specially boring with time it's the one based on good lyrics, with glorious exceptions like Bob Dylan where music scoring as high.

Another positive point of jazz it's that their performers and compositors are usually genuine music lovers. Pop/rock are very usually based on profitability, not love for music or inspiration. Of course, they even will deny it. In countries like Spain, love for bad music, for every kind of shit excreted from industry, is really remarkable.

BTW I know far more authors and performers of Rock or Pop music than Jazz ones. It's not that matter, neither songs...just music and feeling good with it.

Swinging for Goebbels

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: "Mr Churchill, you never can win this war."Nazi opposition to "degenerate" jazz and swing may be well known, but few know Goebbels used the propaganda value of the music to target Allied listeners via the airwaves with his band Charlie and his Orchestra.

During the Nazi era, an ominous knock on the door often meant the end of the party for Germany's teenagers who belonged to the so-called "swing generation" -- those who grew their hair long, listened to American swing and big band jazz and rebelled against the martial drills of Hitler's youth league.

The Nazis, who frowned upon jazz as "impure" and "degenerate" on account of its African-American roots promptly banned the music when Hitler came to power in 1933. The Führer's lieutenants routinely busted parties and hauled away defiant teenagers and musicians to concentration camps for listening to the "decadent" records.

Nazi propaganda with oomph

Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Dr. Joseph Goebbels, German minister of propagandaBut not everyone who dared to listen to Benny Goodman and swing bands had to fear such a dreadful fate. Some like saxophonist Lutz Templin actually received covert encouragement to listen to the latest hits by American swing orchestras and take copious notes. The orders came from none other than Joseph Goebbels (photo), Hitler's much-feared propaganda minister.

Shortly after Hitler's ascension to power, Goebbels took over the German airwaves and broadcast Nazi propaganda texts throughout the world via short-wave. Recognizing the enormous influence of radio and music, the crafty minister called for the creation of his own swing band in 1940.

He figured that while music at the home front had to conform to the traditionalist tastes of Hitler and the Nazi elite, a bit of oomph was needed for propaganda aimed at foreign countries.

Y'know, I find it difficult to think of Miles Davis' music as jazz. Sometimes I think it's called jazz by default. I.e. "Well, if it isn't jazz, what is it ? " To which I'd have to reply :"Damned if I know."

The situation reminds me of the 1940's when Moondog's music was called jazz, which it certainly isn't. Artur Rodzinski took it very seriously and got the street musician concerts and recording contracts, but I'll bet he didn't know what to call Moondog's music, either. It was just different.

Later when he wrote some formal, though still different, organ music, it was decided that his music was a kind of classical music, though it is still sometimes called avant garde jazz.

On the other hand, I refuse to call any of Frank Sinatra's songs jazz. They're at most, somewhat-jazz-influenced pop.

"If somebody told me I had only one hour to live, I'd spend it choking a white man."-- Miles Davis

^Jiggaboo jackass.
I can't stomach Miles Davis. I don't know how any self-respecting white/European WHATEVER can. I never liked him all that much when I tried to get into his stuff back in college, either (during my "open-minded" days). Bitches Brew? ZzzZZzzzzzZZzzz BORING!

Charlie Parker and Duke Ellington...good stuff.

I like some jazz. I actually think it works surprisingly well in sci-fi media (but then that may just be the noir influence too). So, yeah, you can imagine that these pieces move s-l-o-w-l-y. But I don't think slow=boring. And to be fair, my feelings about each Bladerunner and Cowboy Bebop bias my opinion.

I'm probably going to get some Jazz compilations. I enjoy it as background music, like I enjoy Chopin.

I like some Cherry Poppin' Daddies, but that's not Jazz. That's modern Big Band.

I am a huge jazz fan. I am currently in a jazz band called The Lancaster Jazz Project. We formed about two and a half years ago. It is me on electric bass, an electric guitarist, and a drummer. However, despite our electric instrumentation, we play in the vein of the acoustic jazz of the 60s (technically known as "post-bop").

Given that jazz isn't too popular amongst the local crowd of our peers (the 20-30 y/o group), we don't get many gigs. However, during the summer months, we end up playing a short set at the Harrisburg Hilton hotel once a month. It is great fun.

I have played bass since I was 12, but never got in-to jazz until I was around 17 or 18. I have always been a music theory lover, so jazz seemed like the perfect thing to get interested in.

I do enjoy a lot of jazz, first and foremost John Coltrane. I was introduced to the genre only recently (by my music teacher), but have already performed a few songs like Equinox and Little Sunflower by Freddie Hubbard during an open house at school. Calming and interesting genre to listen to, really getting into it.

showmanship for the sake of showmanship

This only applies to a tiny portion of the many sub-genres of jazz. Most jazz musicians use technique as a tool to express the musical
ideas they wish to communicate, not to show off. But I can understand how it might sound that way to untrained ears.
Personally I love jazz. How can you go wrong with stuff like this?

In my community, there used to be many Jazz players and they would play Jazz and sing in Spanish with a Canary Islander accent! You don't see too much of that anymore, now they sing in English like everyone else. But around here, many people listen to Jazz. I like New Orleans Jazz and Latin Jazz. There's nothing more New Orleans than putting on some good Jazz, having a Dixie beer and eating a couple of pounds of spicy boiled crawfish!
