I think Jazz is too broad a genre to dismiss in its entirety.
It's like saying all Pop music is shit. Some of it is utter bollocks, but there's plenty of great Pop music out there, too.
I'm not a fan of the Miles Davis stuff, and the Loungey freestyle interpetative Jazz can get fucked. There are some rare exceptions which I can really get behind, but mostly it's for the same kind of cunts that find the Turner Prize nominations intellectually stimulating. In my opinion
But then there are musicians like Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, hell, you could even argue that Joni Mitchell could be categorised as Jazz, and I bloody love all of them.
