What makes jazz such a good genre?
I really like to think about the incredible genre of jazz. Here are my two favorite reasons and feel free to add on to this list:
1. Its one of the few genres in where improvisation sounds amazing and is one of the best ways to put a song together.
2. It gives all instruments a chance... I mean how many rock bands or even blues bands do you know in where the sax player or the drummer is the main guy like Buddy Rich Big Band or John Coltrane Quartet or Miles Davis or Clifford Brown and Max Roach.
What are some of your favorite reasons why jazz is incredible?
i know what jazz is and great jazz musicians. I am just asking why everyone likes jazz like me
The typical person's ear is tuned to popular music that spoon feeds the notes, chords and words to the listener. Nothing changes once you have heard the song more than twice, it becomes burned in your memory.
Jazz commands good listening skills (which comes in handy for a lot of things in life!) and requires the listener to interpret what is being played. No two persons ever hear the same thing. For example, a bass player may listen to a jazz piece and listen to the bass line and not pay the same attention to the melody or soloist. A drummer is catching the rhythm changes, syncopations and subtle embellishments. The sax player is listening to the melody, changes, tone and emotions of the soloist. Plus, every time any one of these persons hears this same song, they hear something different that was not picked up before.
Jazz transcends so many styles - you can play a jazz waltz (Up Jumped Spring), a standard ballad (Body and Soul), a bop tune (Scrapple from the Apple) and a bossa tune (Blue Bossa) all in one set and take the listening audience to so many places with such range of feeling and emotion. No other genre can do that in as many ways.
Bottom line - what makes jazz so incredible is the way it is played, not the way it is composed or arranged.
