Sadly, not me. In fact it's probably on-par with Justin Bieber in music I can stand listening to (although Jazz is obviously much more creative, less commercial and more quality. Just nowhere close to sound I like, such as thrash/power/speed/heavy metal and the faster electronic dance/club music genres.

Only if it's coolio.
*rimshot*

More seriously, I was in concert band for ~7 years, and always liked how good the jazz band sounded :)
Never really listened to it outside of the concerts when I was stuck in the building for x hours, tho :P

Edit: now that I'm thinking about it I was first trumpet in "You've got a friend in me" in some Toy Story 2 suite..was pretty fun

I do like jazz, but it depends on the type. If its more of the free form jazz or like bebop or somewhat experimental and upbeat, I dig it. Big band stuff or easy listening, I don't care for. Im not super familar with jazz though, so recomendations are always welcome. ^^

yesyesyesyesYES!!!!
like art, though, i'm more a fan of the heavily rhythm-based stuff.

if you happen to be a sucker for both anime and jazz, then gogogo and check out Sakamichi no Apollon, the latest thing Shinichiro Watanabe has directed. even if you don't like anime, it's worth it just to skip through and watch the beautifully animated jazz sessions.

if you're looking for something more recent that takes swing rhythms and instruments and mixes them with electronics (which is, basically, a perfect thing for me =D), then you should check out Caravan Palace. unlike all the other "electro-swing" people, like pavrov stellar (or whatever his name is) who don't have a real feel for swing, these guys have it down!

Same :D
But unfortunately, I never heard any jazz music so I don't listen to it yet. But if someday I hear a good jazz music, it will get in my tracklist for sure ;)

Or am I just weird... <_<
Why weird ? No one is weird since there is no norm.

Eh, jazz is okay, but much prefer to listen to some EDM or rock =P

Jazz is good :) but I can't really listen to dubstep/electronic. But DJ, your Tales of the Knight of the Moon album is pretty kicking.

Post by: DJ Omnimaga on September 09, 2012, 01:50:45 pm
Actually TotKotM, despite being electronic, is more oriented on the rock side than other electronic music, though. Also yeah I can't really stand dubstep either.
Title: Re: Does anyone like jazz?
Post by: blfngl on September 09, 2012, 01:53:09 pm
Electronic rock then :P You used a playstation to make those?

Amazing  ;D
Even more amazing, the pianist doesn't seem to know what to do!

Yeah. It would fall under power metal sub-genres, but since it was done using a sequencer, not in real-time, instead of using real guitars, drums and keyboard instruments, it's electronic.


I wonder if there's any jazz metal? Maybe I would find that kind of stuff kinda coolio jazz.

I love any kind of musics except for raps (I can't stand any of those) and screaming rocks (like Slipknot)

Dr Dre was ok, so was Atmosphere. Not my favorite, but I was able to listen to them.
