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
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.

imagine tryin too hard while accusing others of tryin too hard!
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
