who /giant steps// here?
Alexander Hughes
Honestly I don't think about time signatures at all when I'm listening to music. Either it sounds right or it doesn't. That song sounds pretty right.
Jack Collins
it's 4/4 though, and all about chords

I once did some drugs and was walking through a city at night and this came on and it was so much fun. Like not including concerts and such, was probably one of my favourite music experiences.
Mason Miller
took me some time to figure out that it wasn't 1/8 but rather some weird 7/8 7/8 6/8 7/8 way of timing
Evan Bennett
When a genre in 4/4 is infinitely even rhythmically interesting and capable than many others, that says a lot about the genre. Just think of comping for any instrument capable of doing it. There are virtually mathematically endless possibilities of doing it in a jazz setting.
Oliver Cook
yeah but that was what I was listening to at this very moment
Dylan Cruz
I don't know how to count time signatures, but are these time signatures weird? Could anyone count them for me, maybe?

Jayden Davis
Time signatures are worth considering, although maybe not at first listen. Some math rock signatures can seem palatable and very listenable to different people.
Connor Flores
yeah, but that's still 4/4
not that it limits anything, but when I'm drunk I'm more akin to concentrate on counting than taking care of chord changes
Jayden Wood
I've been very happy with the results of simply listening to music and deciding whether I like it so far. What can music theory possibly improve about the process, apart from me categorically and prematurely ruling out certain things?
Daniel Williams

Oh, no. Don't tell me you're another one who thinks music theory also "proves" if a piece of music is objectively good or bad. The real reason why it's important is the more dopamine your brain receives from better understanding and enjoyment of music.

That study only says that listening to pleasurable music releases dopamine, not that the release increases with higher theoretical understanding.

did someone say time signatures?

The opening piano melody reminds me of something but I can't remember. Any helps thanks
Adrian Jackson
Is that a Bailey's ?
Pretty patrician.

Mere theoretical knowledge probably won't change your perception or understanding of jazz all that much, especially on first listen.
What WILL change that perception is experience applying that theoretical knowledge through critical listening and improvisation.
For example, sometime look at the blindfold tests in the back of downbeat magazine where they ask jazz musicians to give their thoughts about a track. Compare that to what the average Sup Forums poster has to say about a given jazz track, which is almost never more than:
>I like it
or
>it sounds good
Easton Jones
This, seemingly unorthodox time signatures have never phased me. I don’t think about them when I play guitar and sing either, I just find a rhythm that fits the song. I should probably learn more about them if I want to play with bands, but my friend who plays banjo has never had difficulty following me when I do rhythm and vice versa.
Charles White
but do you even use unorthodox time signatures?
Colton Stewart
Maybe not terribly unorthodox but I don’t only play in 4/4, I know that much.
Chase Barnes
Yeah but I don't think 3/4 or 6/8 really count as unorthodox. And I'd be surprised if you naturally play in 5, 7, or 10 or anything like that without ever having to think about it.
Cameron Anderson
To be honest not too sure. My lack of theory knowledge is irritating, I am trying to improve on it. I mostly play by ear.
Wyatt Cruz
Best jazz album of the 21st century imo. I listened to this for a while before I even realized that a lot of the songs were in weird time signatures because I think they make them sound so natural. I've tried to figure out some of the time signatures before but I never really can very well. As soon as I think I've got it figured out the pattern changes or I realize I was counting it wrong or something.
Jeremiah Jones
I think time signatures barely count as music theory though. It's just really counting the number of beats that the music is organized in.
Carter Edwards
I don’t actually count in my head though, I just play what sounds right.
Connor Flores
I know you fuckers like to ignore/shit on Dave Brubeck for being too "white" or "academic" or whatever meaningless buzzwords are in fashion, and truthfully Paul Desmond's sound isn't my favorite either, but you have to admit- this album is really more innovative than Kind of Blue or The Shape of Jazz to Come, and extremely ahead of its time/influential considering how many jazz artists started experimenting with time signatures in the 60's and then later.
