Why I Don't Like Jazz

The Argus Leader's Robert Morast sums up, on his blog, why we both don't like it (or just don't understand it):

"You know, I'm not a cultured jazz head. I'll probably never be a cultured head. This is mostly because I don't understand the audio allure of frenetic bursts of unsyncopated rhythms and notes that quickly die down to work back into the primary melody. It seems ostentatious and unecessary . . . "

Amen, brother. Now blues, on the other hand . . .
