l know where you are in thought about this.
l like jazz and the genius behind improvised music. True jazz to me means a performance not written down, pure, a one off performance that will never be repeated (because there are no rules and it’s not a written document prompting a performance)
l liken jazz to avant-garde improvised experimental music. Most people dislike both of these because of sometimes no melody or logical construction. It’s a jam session.l think that’s why most of the general public reject both these musical forms.
l would venture a third type of music, more modern that’s evaded by a large proportion of listeners….. rap. I just don’t get it either. To my ears in most cases, rap resembles a rollercoaster cacophany of words at high speed that just can’t be absorbed, or easily followed by many listeners. It’s like trying continually to catch up with a runaway train.
