Major Holley’s Laughing in Rhythm

[@RaiJK3]

Jazz is subjective. Music is subjective.

[@Bluejay-ri1yf]

@@mertgulec7541 I think it's more so like Jazz usually uses greater harmonic vocabulary, so the best comparison I have is if a novel uses incredibly rare and academic words to express itself. For example, most books might have written "The silence was deafening," but Jazz would be the book that writes "The draconic cacophony of silence was of the most extraordinary verisimilitude."

[@ft6755]

It's the sort of genre that the more you listen to it, the more you 'get it' and the more you like it, so initially people are put off. You also appreciate it more as a musician.
