Why Does All Jazz Sound The Same?

Once upon a time, I thought all bourbon tasted the same. Once upon a time, I  thought all rock guitar riffs sounded the same.  Once upon a time, I thought country music sounded the same. 

It seems the more I listen to different types of music, the easier it is to appreciate all types of music.

Of course it all sound's the same ... they all play the same twelve notes ... 🙄

There are many branches and styles within jazz.  It is beautiful, often soulfull music.  Many of the greatest popular artists are influenced by jazz - Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Anita Baker, just to name a few.  It is a wonderful original art form from America, that now has broad followings around the world.

Personally I love all Jazz, Blues, Rock, Country, Reggae, Classical, Indie, Punk and yes even some Rap.

Like what you like and do not put others down for their choices or proclivities.
