In Reply to: Trying to get back into jazz posted by magiccarpetride on July 5, 2012 at 10:08:28:
I remember once, probably 35 years ago, I smoked some pot and was listening to Cannonball Adderley's "Something Else" (with Miles) and it sounded like a lot of jive to me.
That has never happened before or since, straight or stoned. I love jazz, and find that I can follow the soloists' thinking better now than when I was younger.
Maybe you're already doing this, but jazz is the kind of music that needs close attention on the part of the listener. A lot of kinds of music just create a sound or ambience, but jazz needs close following of the soloists' lines to be properly appreciated.
I was a classical musician when I was working, but I believe that the great jazz musicians are the greatest musicians of all. Most have wonderful mastery of tone and technique on their horns, along with a deep understanding of harmonic changes, astoundingly musical ears, and extremely quick minds for improvising. Quite impressive, IMHO.
