Music Theory is really not difficult to learn. At the basic level, you already know more than 3/4 of musicians. It’s like learning a new language. 15 minutes a day and you will see how most songs are composed and understand why. Producer, MC, or musician it’s going to help a lot. You dont even have to get in the weeds with it

I love jazz music. I feel like you have to approach it the way you do classical music. Even more freestyle jazz is very technical. I come from a musical family but I definitely started appreciating jazz more watching Mo Better Blues as a teenager and more as I got into my 20s and 30s. It's really amazing.

Jazz is like soccer, overrated and BORING, but people pretend it’s great because they think it makes them seem…idk..”eclectic” and polished or something.

charles mingus got me into jazz. first jazz record i bought was the clown. took me years to figure out the white dude narrating the last track is the same guy from a christmas story. everybody can prolly hear that intro sax in their head, but a love supreme by coltrane is beloved for a reason. eventually i got into weirder stuff like eric dolphy and ornette coleman, ymmv. good for everyone making the journey. jazz is a wonderful genre

:dahell: imagine tryin too hard while accusing others of tryin too hard! :usure:

if you dont enjoy jazz music thats fine but dont be so willfully ignorant. i dont like bluegrass or mongolian throat singing, but that doesnt mean it sucks either
