RE: Trying to get back into jazz

If you want to be a successful listener you need start with humility, openness and respect. Great art is not created to please an audience but to engage in a conversation; popular art is created to please, and there is nothing wrong with that. The language you use to describe some of these people is deeply disrespectful both to the artist, who has made sacrifices and become vulnerable in ways most of us will never understand, and to the supreme musician who inspires both creator and listener alike. If you want "to ease back into Jazz" to have to become receptive again, something that you may have lost over the years. You also state in your bio that you are a musician, so maybe it is time for you to climb the same mountain and see how far get. In any case, the attempt will make you more appreciative and help you connect again.
