Kind of

what does he mean
that's such a vague statement

lmao he doesnt get it what a pleb kill urself faggot xDDdD

it's like a telescope because you use a telescope to find a better genre

lol

with other genres you know what you're going for, with jazz you are not

i love masi but i disagree

metalheads would say the same thing about metal

i say the same thing about death grips

theres no objective blanket statements like that

post of the year contender right here

overrated post

I'm doubtful someone will screencap this
but just in case, put me in, coach

>no objective blanket statements
classical is objectively like a blanket

Fkn roasted m90

what, how does that have anything to do with micro/telescopes?

I think he means to say that Jazz is a 'big' genre, big solos big sounds, large variety.
with othr genres you "know what you are getting into"

He is wrong, of course.

that's like saying aristotles ideas are an objective blanket to modern science

its a no from me

That legitimately makes no fucking sense

lmao did he actually say that

kek

Other genres look at minutia, they think in small terms. Jazz looks to the stars and thinks big. Kind of a clumsy simile but I got what he meant.

god
damn

>Jazz serves a cultural function in the music scene. It is a signifier for musical "adulthood." To embrace jazz is to don a kind of graduation cap, signifying a broadening of tastes outside "mere" rock music. This ostentatious display of "sophistication" is an insult, and I find the graduation cappers transparent and tedious. Certainly there must be interesting music one could call "jazz." There must be. I've never heard it, but I grant that it is out there somewhere.

>Jazz has a non-musical parallel: Christiania, the "free" zone in Copenhagen. In Christiania, like in jazz, there is no law. People are left to their own inventions to create and act as they see fit. In Jazz, the musicians are allowed to improvise over and beside structural elements that may themselves be extemporaneous. Sounds good, doesn't it? Freedom -- sounds good.

>The reality is much bleaker. Christiania is a squalid, trashy string of alleys with rag-and-bone men selling drugs, tie-dye and wretched food. Granted Total Freedom, and this is what they've chosen to do with it, sell hash and lentil soup? Jazz is similar. The results are so far beneath the conception that there is no English word for the dissappointment one feels when forced to confront it. Granted Total Freedom, you've chosen to play II V I and blow a goddamn trill on the saxophone? Only by willfully ignoring its failings can one pretend to appreciate it as an idiom and don the cap.

audible laugh

Jazz is like x
Other music is like y (and y is like x)

did laugh at this

...

Wait this isn't a roast, right? The only way this even makes sense is that you gotta look hard, far and wide for something better than jazz if you gotta use a telescope. Meaning that very few things in music are better than jazz and they aren't easy to find.

dubs wasted on shit post

It's Steve Albini and he's being 100% ironic. He recorded The Thing (a free jazz group featuring Gustafsson, Nilssen-Love, and Haker-Flaten).
He's mocking jazz critics who disparage rock music (Albini's genre of preference) by using their argument against them.

everyone needs to see this

dubs

you mean random notes playing in an annoying sax?
