Jazz will always stay. Those who have forgotten it have forgotten the definition of creative music. All they listen too is screaming aka noise

The same way it might be hard for one who's grown up with European music and its rhythmic/harmonic rules to wrap his head around the polyrhythms of certain African music or the drone-harmony and expanded scale of India, one whose only knowledge of music is of 3-minute verse-chorus chord-based pop tunes might hear the extended improvisation of jazz as structureless nonsense and gratuitous flexing of instrumental chops. It's all a bit esoteric for the non-musician ANYWAY.

porgie, I think your right. I myself have that problem, I find myself wanting to move on but I make myself sit and listen cause I know it will be worth the time. Also, it's hard to wrap my brain around it..it often seems like radomness..those are my problems anyway.

It certainly is tragic! I think it's due largely to the fact that many people just don't have the attention span now. They are so inundated with garbage music videos with their quick cut editing that they can't settle down and just listen to MUSIC! No lyrics or jive ass shaking, just music, played on musical instruments. Music of substance requires patience which we've lost in this age of immediate gratification. That's my 2 cents.

question, why aren't more people into Jazz? This stuff kills. No one digs this stuff anymore. It's tragic.
