people are forgeting that jazz in the beggining wasnt that much about pure improvisation.. (example: glen miller band)
I think that classical jazz is a beautiful thing, however today many people think that if you play arrpegios and use different modes then you'll become a jazz player.
another problem with jazz is that most of the people who listen to it, dont have a clue about whats going on in the compostions they listen to. You have to know exactly every single thing which is used in jazz in order to understand it. Thats why many people hate jazz . Thats why i hate 99.9% of the people who like jazz. Its just trendy as hell to be jazz lover and useful to be one if you want people to think that you are smart.
For the same reason i hate modern paintings and all that post modern ****...
