JAZZ

[The Rich Port]

Sunn O)))... Where have I heard that before?

In the soundtrack to your nightmares, probably.

I meant I've actually seen this album cover before.

Jazz Fusion

I generally think of jazz fusion as being jazz with rock elements (among other things), not vice versa.

[North Wiedna]

Jazz fusion gets old really fast, IMO. It always seems like people need to add more effects to compensate for less virtuosity.

Fusion tends to be extremely virtuosic.

:lol: I meant I've actually seen this album cover before.

Their best work is actually Black One imo. But I digress...

Jazz Fusion :D

Eeyup, it's JAZZ + whatever.

No, not really.

This thread is officially a pony thread. Congrats, now bronies dictate threads on NSA/F.

So, who here plays in a jazz band or can play a traditional jazz instrument?

I play piano, which is often used in jazz, but I really don't know anything jazzy, unless you count ragtime or novelty piano as jazz (which it really isn't, but often gets lumped in).

I used to. Hearing decreased too much to stay in tune.

Yeah, I really wouldn't count ragtime as jazz. It was a precursor though...

I do want to learn jazzier styles though, the problem is I have absolutely no confidence in my improvisational abilites. That's what you get in methods that train you for the classical world...

Just so we're all clear, Wynton Marsalis and Kenny G are NOT jazz.

Just because it's shit doesn't mean it's not jazz.

Shittiness is incompatible with jazzness. The two are mutually exclusive.

Wow, a ponyfag and a grammar-nazi!

You've got something against ponies AND grammar? Pity.

English is my third language, excuse me for not being very proficient in it. And yes, I do despise this idiotic childish nonsense. Now could we finally disperse with the idiocy and start returning to the matter at hand and could you people please fuck off to the (suprisingly large) thread for your kind? Thank you very fucking much.

So...what of the more recent music holds your interrest?

Dude, I was trying to make a reference to a song in the 1930s. I guess witty comments don't travel through the internet tubes...

That would imply that your comment was of any actual intellectual value, but nevermind...which song was it then?

Anything goes. It's a swing peace for a musical, Anything Goes.

Oh God you are such a /mu/tant :x

Well I play guitar and I used to play sax when I was much younger. Bass too. I don't think harmonica is a 'traditional' jazz instrument, is it?

Not anymore.

[Meryuma]

Kubra strikes me as more /mu/tated than Wied, though.

The guy whose sig is just DOHOHOOHHOHOHOHO?

Well yeah but he's accepted it and doesn't take himself too seriously.

Wied needs to admit he's a /mu/tant :/

Listening to King Crimson and saying "plebeianosity" doesn't make you a /mu/tant.

Meh. There's a bunch of shitty anything.

Let's just make a pact to never listen to Kenny G or Wynton Marsalis.

I'll admit I'm a former mutant, but they're all faux-intellectuals who don't know the meaning of civility.

I sometimes go to /mu/ but don't take it too seriously. It's basically a version of /b/ that doesn't have porn, doesn't have a new page every 2 seconds and is themed around hipster music.

Wynton Marsalis is a jazz musician, just a stuck-up, douchey one.

Kenny G doesn't even play jazz. His music doesn't have blue notes or improvisation or cymbal-oriented drum work or double bass or really any trait associated with jazz except for saxophones. He plays bland and fairly genre-neutral "smooth" sax over music lacking in jazz characteristics.
