The hot takes and unpopular opinions

[Snowy]

@Bones In typical fern fashion I will argue (I could just stop there really), that they are popular opinions, both of them. Possibly even hot takes, in which case we would all be right and we don't want to go down that road.

[Bones]

@Snowy because it's long, winding and leads to your door?

[Snowy]

@Bones Yeah, yeah, yeah. It leaves a pool of tears so I'll just Let it Be.

No future here if we all agree, was what I was getting at.

[Bones]

@Snowy don't leave me standing here.

[Snowy]

@Bones I'll lead you back.

Jazz music stinks. Bunch of clowns making shit up as they go.

Modern Jazz then? That might be a popular opinion, not that we should stay on topic, never worked before.

I'm not a big Jazz fan but some of these people produced some great sounds. The BBC's top ten Jazz musicians - just so the distinction is clear about "modern"

1. Miles Davis
2. Louis Armstrong
3. Duke Ellington
4. John Coltrane
5. Ella Fitzgerald
6. Charlie Parker
7. Billie Holiday
8. Thelonious Monk
9. Bill Evans
10. Oscar Peterson

Nina isn't on that list but was considered Jazz. So I'll leave it with this:

Need to click the utube link - dunno why it didn't imbed.

I’d expect someone with Palmy to have no taste so this post doesn’t surprise me at all

Nice list. 99% awful

See, that Nina Simone song is mostly OK until 2:26. WTF is the point of that shit? Ruins the song completely

Not unpopular (at least it shouldn't be) nor incorrect

One of the most unique and interesting bands I saw was the Preservation Hall Jazz Band in New Orleans. They played in a small hall that was like a sauna inside in the summer but it was cool to see 60 and 70 something cats playing.

Who knew there was a market for teeny cat sized instruments.

Used to agree, but two things changed me.

The movie Whiplash
The Cotton Club in Shanghai

Both are epic, and all about jazz.

I love Whiplash, I've seen it about 10 times. But it's great despite the music, not because of it.

Modern jazz as a rule sucks. But good jazz has superb musicians:
