anyone agree jazz is underrated?

[obgenius]

anyone else feel like jazz/blues is underrated? i mean im a hip hop head straight up but i feel like people really dont recognize alot of good music nowadays.. jazz/blues have had so much influence in todays music but i really dont see it getting the props it should.. I got nothin but love for those old school jazz legends like Mingus, Coltrane, Parker, and Davis but i just think there are other contemporary jazz groups doin it real nice but gettin very little visibility.. cats like Galactic, Topaz, Lettuce and Soulive are all seriously dope groups. Soulive, these guys really turned me on to the more contemporary jazz/funk/blues stuff. I think this is the group that really pulls the whole genre together, i mean just from a short listen youve gotta respect their talent and the soul they put in to it. check them out if u wanna hear some real shit www.soulive.com ~ peace ~

I don't think Jazz is underrated, Jazz just isn't mainstream.

Nothing more needs to be said.

fuck that overated and underrated shit just stick to what you like. Jazz and Blues are cool. Trip-hop too.

[yeahwho]

Upright bass. Coolest instrument ever made.

[Extra Cheese]

extremely overrated by jazzlovers, and underrated by everyone else.

agreed
Im learning to play that now.

Whenever I see people struggle with an upright bass in public transportation I have this urge to ask whether they think that in retrospect a violin or bass guitar would have been a better idea.

i think jazz is very underrated but if everyone liked it i probably wouldn't have the same connection with it.

miles davis was one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, nay, all time.

JAzz is so stupid and boring. I don't understand the appeal. I listened to my mom's Louis Armstrong album and ones by BB King and I seriously don't get what the big deal is. I'll stick to my JEt and THe VInes thanks.

Opinions are like asshole my friend but your seems to be constipated. You are confused to exactly what jazz is and havent explored it deep enough to make such comments. Louis Armstrong while one of the geniuses of modren music is one man in a long line of innovative and much different jazz muscians. Try listening to Bitches Brew by Miles Davis and tell me you havent just gotten the shock of your short life. Oh yeah, and BB King is sooooooooooooo not jazz. I suggest music 101 classes before u make another comment on music at all.

Jazz was underrated in the 1920s. now it's for honkeys.

[minorthreat]

anyone in doubt about jazz listen to all of mile davis's birth of the cool album or a kind of blue album.
kind of blue will prompt a gentle head sway, but birth of the cool will make you boogie till sundown and then some

Im still too busy with Hip-Hop before I move onto Jazz, getting into Johnny Cash right now. Doesn't differ from other genres IMO, just that for the most part has kept true to itself since it hasn't become a billion dollar a year industry, so music is made good for good's sake, not mass appealing for some cash. I might be wrong....

Jazz has the same problems with commercial concerns most other genres do.

Jazz musicians enjoy themselves far more than the people listening to it.

What you are saying is so true, The more I know the more I listen to Jazz.
Piano, drums, upright bass, horns in a cold cafe with a melodramatic noctournal scene I feel like a refugee in a disconcerted affair at the end of an emotional cul-de-sac.

^ Damn thats moving. Ever tried poetry?
