I had to listen to jazz in college for a course, and it sounded like a horribly primitive and toneless composition. We even had to use records to hear it, in the 21 century!. I have avoided it ever since. However I find more and more people rhapsodizing about how cool Jazz is and what an advanced genre it supposedly is. I just don't get it: I mean do those people claim that we have made no progress in all the years since the early days of recording when jazz was used? I'd like to know, what's the secret?
