Does anybody actually like Jazz?

that said, and while I recognise the significance of A Love Supreme, it’s hard work on the ears.

There’s a sort of “awareness gap” between “Bitches Brew” and “A Love Supreme” that I just can’t seem to bridge…

Kind of Blue is one I keep going back to too. I have absolutely no idea why it’s so good, but I guess that’s because I’m not Miles Davis 🙂

When my wife’s away, I like to put it on at full blast.

Miles Davis – Kind of Blue

I NEVER get tired of listening to this

+ another 1 here

and just about every other live Nina Simone performance!

Kind of Blue is a phenomenal album. I do keep coming back to it.

However my favourite Miles is side one of In A Silent Way. First ‘jazz’ ablum I ever bought. A Tribute to Jack Johnson related and I love too. On The Corner (but only in smallish doses).

Coltrane I love the Impulse stuff (Crescent esp) up until Elvin left. Its a bit too out there for me too.

Blues & Roots is worth a listen. I think Mingus tends to get overlooked a bit for some reason.

I hate jazz, my missus loves it. I used to pretend to like Miles Davis at Uni to lend myself an air of sophistication. It didn’t work.

Yes. just like any category of music, there is good and bad. Lot of jazz IS bollocks though IMO. Sorry for predictable boring answer. SKIDDLY-WEEBA-DOOWAdeewoooapapDEE WOO AP-skeeEEE!
