erwbol Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 No to singers No to trombone solos No to organs No to electric pianos No to drum computers or electronic beats Well, at least I can agree with you on #5! 5 to me is pretty much absolute. With 1 through 4 there are exceptions, but I'll be on my guard when buying records I'm unfamiliar with. With regards to 3 and 4 especially the 70s stuff. At least it's not for a lack of trying.

Tom Storer Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Drummers who sound like they never even heard of swing, let alone want to do it themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlitweiler Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Something I don't like in jazz (or popular music in general) is when a performer plays a few recognisable notes of a hit or a well known song and everyone bursts into applause. Who are they applauding? The performer for choosing that song; or themselves for recognising it within a few notes? My, that was a grouchy one! Actually, we're applauding the performer for finally playing something we like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
