The hot takes and unpopular opinions

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"
- Miles Davis
- Louis Armstrong
- Duke Ellington
- John Coltrane
- Ella Fitzgerald
- Charlie Parker
- Billie Holiday
- Thelonious Monk
- Bill Evans
- Oscar Peterson
Bunch of clowns making shit up as they go?
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.

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

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.

Jazz music stinks. Bunch of clowns making shit up as they go.
Not unpopular (at least it shouldn't be) nor incorrect
Used to agree, but two things changed me.
The movie Whiplash
The Cotton Club in ShanghaiBoth 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:

Prepare to be triggered @MN5 : Super Troopers is not funny. That there was a sequel at all makes me question humanity's ability - or even right - to see out the century.
Oh no, some guy on the internet disagrees with my opinion.
I’ll call him a racist/fascist/bigot and then block him.

You're just saying that because you're a bigoted fascist racist. Check your privilege.
Also, I'm with @NTA . Didn't find Super Troopers funny,

Robin Williams was never that funny. (1 in 10 jokes landed)
Nick Cave is pretentious as fuck.
Friends was weak American comedy, still is American comedy, and will always be weak American comedy.
John Cleese has not even been mildly funny since A Fish Called Wanda.
British gameshows with comedians on them generally add up to way less than the sum of their parts.

No idea about Cave's personality but his music is boring as fuck.
Yes.
Haven't seen Cleese in anything since a fish called Wanda so I guess so.
Would I lie to you and taskmaster are top notch shows
