Why do so many “kids” of my generation like rock & hate REAL American music: Jazz?
I have ignored rock music ever since I was born in the late 1980s. I never like songs where guitars were solely dominant in music while other instruments were nothing more than supporting. As for jazz, instruments (& vocals, if any) are woven together as equals. To many kids “dis” jazz because they think it is old & boring.
Besides listening to jazz, I also listen to electronic music to make up for the lack of taste in rock. Trance, techno, breakbeat, drum ‘n bass, & industrial music(not the industrial rock, meatheads), you name it. It is jazz & these genres that keep me company, waiting for the days when rock music finally burns out (probably when I’m a geezer).
You might be surprised to learn that a lot of rock music is informed by jazz. Duane Allman of the Allman Brothers adored Miles Davis’ “Kind of Blue” album and often cited it as an influence on his approach to solos. And a lot of jazz is certainly informed by rock music. Miles Davis, in turn, loved Jimi Hendrix and a lot of Davis’ work in the late 60s and 70s was geared toward a rock sound that took after Hendrix’s initial excursions, including a lot of emphasis on the guitar when it came to solos.
Part of the reason that music is so great is that, when you explore deep into it, you realise that there really aren’t any of the walls we initially think are there. Each genre is like its own river system, eventually flowing in and out of the same lakes, and often leading to the same oceans too.
Happy listening!
