Having so loudly and publicly maligned it, it is only right that I equally loudly and publicly make this announcement:

Ladies and gentlemen, I, Marie, do hereby declare that I no longer hate jazz.

That is all.

I'm glad, I should make you a Kenny G mix cd. Now if only Sarah would see the light...

I'm surprised she hasn't succumbed to your influence yet. ; )

Seriously, you don't know how big a thing this is. You haven't been around long enough to see me so roundly declare how much I hate and detest all forms of jazz.

I've tried sending her some music and even threatening her, but she remains as stubborn as ever. I have gotten her into rock though. I consider that a good gain.

yeah, our relationship is in an infancy stage. So would you say that you now actually like Jazz, or can you just tolerate it? What made you change your mind?

(Sorry...bad tags or something in that first comment. We Try Again.)

I have had my mind changed by [livejournal.com profile] patrick___, who made me the awesomest mix cd of jazz ever, because he managed to find not just jazz that I could tolerate, but jazz I actually really, really like.



My mom almost had a heart attack from the shock. O_O

Who's on it? Kenny G? Miles Davis? Isaac Hayes? Barry White?

Well I'm certainly glad you've come around. I love Jazz myself.

Most people are suprised by the music I listen to. You'd think at first that I'm one of those die hard rock and roll / heavy metal kind of guys. Which I am. But they're just one of many kinds of genres I like.

Variety is a good thing.

I used to say I liked every kind of music except for jazz and rap. I guess I'm down to just rap now, and come to think of it, there is that one song... ; )

Which one? 50 cent? eminem? Ludacris? ;-)

eminem

But I'm not admitin' nothin'! And it's just one song!

Ooh, I bet it's the one with Dido in it, right? I actually liked that one because it was the first time I had ever heard Dido.

From: [identity profile] eattheolives.livejournal.com
I like Dido, but I'm not even sure I've heard that one. I was thinking of one he wrote about his daughter..."When I'm Gone" is the title, I think. I mean, yeah, he's a completely unattractive and usually disgusting person but even that kind of man can be heartbreaking singing rapping about a little daughter.

I'm afraid I can't help you learn to love rap. =) I only have a small amount of music that could be considered hip hop of any variety, and it's not that great. Although I do sometimes enjoy some older hip-hop, or modern hip hop if it's musical enough (and not offensive). But it's really rare when I can stand anything that's considered plain old rap.

It's the not-offensive part that's so hard to find. Sometimes I hear some songs that I think are kind of neat, until I figure out what the words are. =P

This must be my most successful mix CD ever!

Do your parents like jazz?

From: [identity profile] eattheolives.livejournal.com
I'd say they're indifferent. They don't listen to it, but they don't hate it.

Kenny G is NOT Jazz!!!!!
It's easy listening!

Kenny's official genre is Smooth Jazz / Contemporary Adult. Which of course can also be considered easy listening. :-P

Hmmm, it makes me curious, but I think I'll just leave it to you. Now we just need to get you into rap........

Can I use this icon when talking about jazz?

Woohoo! I'm with you, though, I wasn't really into jazz until I took a class on it to fulfill a Humanities hole to get my degree. I'm so glad I took that class over Women in Literature. Best. Class. Ever.

Not only did I do a complete 180 on my view of jazz, but I learned a lot about its history and beginnings, which made me get even more into it. It doesn't hurt that the city I live near was a staple jazzers pitstop. (Though I had no idea before of this fact.)

I'm still a white bread swing gal (Benny Goodman!), but I really appreciate the more avant-garde bee-bop and later stuff now. Even though some of that stuff I don't think could possibly ever be enjoyed unless the listener (and player?) was inebriated in some form and I'm not that into it.

Hm, I should try listening tipsy sometime and see if it makes it even more enjoyable. ; )

Or maybe not.

*gasp* I've been starting to succumb too :-O
To that, and to some rap, and some country...
All 3 are genres I insisted I could never like.
heh.
