A Lark Ascending Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Ritualistic clapping of solos (rising from a patter to a roar at the drum solo).

Larry Kart Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Tunes dedicated to people other than, say, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Florence Mills, or Willie "The Lion" Smith, especially those dedicated to "high class" avant-garde literary artists. I do have a soft spot, though, for Manny Albam's "Poor Dr. Millmoss." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed (my emphasis added) re. literary artists. OT (sorry): If I hear another piece of avant-garde or twelve-tone classical music either dedicated to or featuring the poetry of Paul Celan, I swear I'm gonna puke...

Pete C Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 -bowed bass -drum solos -avant garde No problem with any of the above. But I have a major problem with bowed cymbals, which seems to be a folly of the "avant garde." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Tunes with single word titles that allude to physics; seems to be a quick way to add gravitas. Tunes with single word titles that allude to Eastern religion or philosophy; seems to be a quick way to add spirituality. Tunes (or album titles) with apostrophes.

JSngry Posted October 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 People with glasses too big for their head, unless the way they play changes the way you look at their head.

A Lark Ascending Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 In most cases, strings and orchestras. They are nearly always arranged like Tchaikovsky when jazz is better arranged like Stravinsky or Bartok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlitweiler Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Keep Jazz Alive. The attitude that "Jazz is good for you" (so sit still and listen to my Ellington-like noises, peasants). A lot of this POV comes down to us from Albert Murray and his fellow Olympians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Jazz that sets out to be relevant to young people today (as opposed to jazz that set out to be good and tries to engage young people today). The attitude that "Jazz is good for you" Jazz cannot possibly be good for you. 1. It bankrupts you. 2. It ensures you spend long periods in a sedentary position instead of taking exercise. 3. It leads you to spend far to much time in rooms (or chat rooms) filled with other men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeBop Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Not really "in" my jazz, but I really hate talking to people about jazz - people who consider themselves "experts" - who have ZERO understanding of jazz history say further back than John Coltrane or Diana Krall's first album.

Shawn Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Guitar. Forgot to mention guitar. Like most instruments, cool to play but nothing to be gained by hearing it. I'd go the opposite direction, I like when guitar replaces piano entirely. Creates a unique sound that helps set it apart from most groups.
