Anyone else here got a jazz allergy, diving for the remote when jazz is played on the radio/TV or when someone at a party puts some jazz on?
I'm okay with some fusion. But the emphasis has to be on the rock,blues,folk,classical rather than the jazz element.
But pure jazz, anything from trad to big band to be-bop to modern jazz to current stuff just makes me cringe and run for the hills! I really, really can't stand it.
It is the ONLY form of music I really dislike and NEVER listen to.
This thread inspired by my father in law (aged 85), who on Christmas Eve at his house put on some 1940s big band sax player freestyling, much to the dismay of the gathered family clan of about 14 people, mostly kids and people under 50, many of whom said "can we have some xmas music instead please?" The kids were not so polite saying "what is this stuff?"
It was horrible!
