Aibu to ask if you like jazz?

And to ask some follow up questions, such as:

How old are you and when did you start enjoying jazz?

What kind of jazz do you enjoy?

What do you enjoy about it? How do you experience it? What kinda headspace does it fill?

And any other information you would like to add that you feel may in some way be relevant. Many thanks in advance.

(Fwiw I'm not a jazz enjoyer, just driving home listening to R3, trying to "get it" and somewhat frustrated I can't... I think I'd like to)

Some with a singer.
The type that's just a cacophony of noise..nope.

Love it. Stuff like Oscar Peterson or Billie or one of the coolest cats of them all, Jimmy McGriff. My favorite sound is a trio with a Hammond B3.

Acid jazz and Take 5 is as far as I go. Pure jazz is a bit like dark chocolate to me. Worthy but not much fun.

I would usually have a knee jerk reaction to it and say it sounds like the devils fart noise - but if you play me something like Ella and Nina then I'm transported - I guess I don't know enough jazz.

The Jazz that used to be in the Homeland intro - cos Carrie listened to jazz & I think it was a metaphor of some kind to her very jumbled (yet brilliant) thinking - I can’t stand that type of jazz. It’s just noise, no pattern, and I find it incredibly irritating. But I do love Miles Davis’s Kind of Blue album. I like ‘relaxed’ jazz, not the smooth stuff, more chilled out relaxed music. But it’s not my go to music most of the time. I don’t like the randomness of Jazz a lot of the time. Doesn’t make sense to me.

There was an in joke there too. Brody was asked if he liked Jazz and he said he knew nothing about it. Damian Lewis who played Brody, was a jazz musician before becoming an actor and he still plays.
I've noticed he's a natural dancer too.
