Why not jazz?

I could go on and on but jazz is not my bag.  I mean they are immensely talented musicians I just think jazz is largely garbage. I wish I was better at playing by ear but not necessarily in a jazzy style. It’s very difficult for me to tell the difference between great jazz and random nonsense. I do highly respect jazz players tho. Why do you hate (or love) jazz? Cue jazz hands

This is a chess website. That picture by your username is called a pawn. Are you okay buddy? We're all praying for a speedy recovery!

I love jazz because it's all instinct and creativity. There's none of the stress of playing anything "correctly", just playing something in the chord that sounds good. Whether jazz is good or bad is highly subjective, but for me that's part of the beauty of it.

Oops posted this in wrong forum when i was drunk!

This is the Off Topic section. That means discussions about subjects other than chess. If you haven't noticed (and I'm sure you haven't) there are several threads about music here. They are fairly popular and very informative. Maybe you are more suited for the "Smash or Pass" threads?

Ya that guys fs a d bag but I meant to post this in a classical piano club forum ha!

I'm not much for free-form jazz but there are other styles, like Dixieland, that don't seem so 'random' to me.

They're not blank. They're links. You have to be on the computer.

Pc wild man has been banished from the thread for posting three blank comments in a row. I am the ultimate authority on this thread and may ban whomever I so please. I must maintain the integrity of this thread as supreme ruler.

My apologies. My phone didnt load the videos. I herebye reinstate pcwildman and declare him innocent of any wrongdoings.

@pcwildman if there’s one jazz pianist I like (besides Vince Geraldi) it’s Taylor eigsti. Geraldis stuff is more like composition it moves forward
