Dropped. You should have stopped after classical.

Why listen to anything?

Why Is Jazz Put On The Same Level As Classical Music?

Its something I don't understand. Music snobs lump Jazz and Classical together as the "superior" music as opposed to Popular music. Classical I understand- it has lasted all these years for a reason. But Jazz, I don't get it. Jazz has a lot more in common with Popular music- it just sounds like a bunch of musicians got together and can't decide on which song to play. Also, little emotion in Jazz.

I have nothing against Jazz musicians- I do agree it takes skill and all of that. But why is it considered an "elevated" form of music? This is true in most colleges and universities even- they have a Jazz Department. They do not have a Country and Western department. Its complete opposite of Classical music to my ears. I don't hate Jazz, to me its nice for background music at a coffee shop or bookstore, but to sit down and listen to it , no thanks!

In Classical there is more emotion usually, although I don't understand I-talian Operas very well. But I see why people respect Classical music as a higher level of music- and I don't take offense at that. But why Jazz?

damn.....

I know this is pasta, but I agree on the fact that jazz is closer to popular music on every single aspects than it is to western art music. And I say this as I love jazz music.

is it because it has a groove?

>not banging out Stockhausen from your car stereo in the hood at 3am

Because other music is fun.
