Are Curiosity Killed The Cat jazz?
I liked Curiosity Killed The Cat.

I don't think so
They're more pop with a soul/jazz influence.
Harters is the man to talk to about that watered down end of the market.

trad jazz is ok, just not my thing
modern jazz is right up there with "performance art", a parody of itself performed by wankers for other wankers to wank over.

Wankers.

Just because you don't like or understand something, doesn't mean someone is trying to trick you.

his favourite band is Queen, this is why any music remotely complex is too sophisticated for him

one of my favourites.
Most of my favourite music is classical
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 28 Feb 2014, 14:00, Reply)

Just the Classical period?
Or do you listen to composers such as Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Bernstein, Copland, etc.?
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 28 Feb 2014, 14:08, Reply)

All sorts
Even studied Weill, Stravinsky and Schoenberg at uni (minor music unit in non-music degree).
Like Stravinsky a lot, Schoenberg not at all, though could sort of see what he was trying to achieve.
Bernstein is a favourite, Wagner too, plus a load more.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 28 Feb 2014, 14:13, Reply)

All of these composers incorporated jazz influences into some of their works.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 28 Feb 2014, 14:16, Reply)

Indeed, especially Bernstein

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 28 Feb 2014, 14:17, Reply)

I'm not sure what we're arguing about any more.
Saw a decent jazz version of The Rite of Spring a couple of years ago:

Edit: That's Steve Howe from Yes's son.

The different types of jazz, I think.
The one I hate is the one that sounds like several groups individual practice sessions played back simultaneously.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Fri 28 Feb 2014, 14:22, Reply)

Yeah, it's not for everyone.
Ornette Coleman's album Free Jazz has two quartets playing separate improvisations - one coming out of the left speaker, the other coming out of the right.
I rather like it, but I suspect you'd hate it.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 28 Feb 2014, 14:25, Reply)

You may be right, but I'd always at least give it a listen first.
Sometimes music takes tine to grow on you, have listened to some very recent compositions that at first were "wtf" but after a while really liked.
