TERRY EXPLAINS JAZZ (to those who hate jazz)

I confess I had a real stick up my bleep until I was in my 20's.
Not only did I not 'get' it, I refused to try!
I moved to California and ended up in charge of a large Art Department with artists who happened to come from all different parts of the world.
We'd argue about whose music we'd listen to. Everybody had really different tastes.
So. . .
I devised a plan. I brought my turntable up to work and told everybody to bring their favorite albums.
I proposed since there were 8 of us we'd each have one hour to play our personal favorites. Then, on to the next person and the next.
Amazingly, the arguments ended and we all gained a huge respect for the other person's tastes.
You see--we really wanted to impress the others and gain converts. It happened, but to ALL of us!
I ended up having broadened my world, my tastes, and appreciation for the "other." Most importantly, I pulled the stick out!

Might be hard to believe, but the Charlie Brown Christmas special will turn 50 years old this year (December 9th, 1965). Mentioning this because I linked the holiday sound track in a previous reply in this thread.
"Great Pumpkin Waltz" ("It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" c. 1966)

konceptual99, That was hilarious! The pretentious jazz aficionado take down reminds me of a TV show in the 60's, PLAYBOY AFTER DARK.

I like a lot of jazz, even junk jazz, like the stuff on Acid Jazz label a few years back.
There are jazz elements in Doors music, Pink Floyd too

Agreed. Check out "same old song and dance" by Aerosmith with that thought in mind
