Harrumph. I love jazz, and am a 27 year old woman, but I do not deny that I am probably boring and have old-person tastes. However, I love it enough to own up to what other people think it says about me, and you can pry my Avishai Cohen album collection out of my cold dead hands someday. (Boring? Not this dude.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CjLUwmzYwM)

Well Gage, you look really good for being in your forties!

And don’t take anything I post too seriously on here after midnight because I may have had a Stella or two.

Love currently sober old Binsk.

Fuck. Meant to write: “Bix Beiderbecke was not boring. John Coltrane was not boring. Miles Davis.” Typos are boring. Internet commenting: wicked fucking boring

Re-cycled, re-enacted jazz is gross. The original stuff was never boring. Watch that Ken Burns documentary on the music. Taken in context, it is thrilling, God’s own music. What is boring is even having to make this point. Good Christ, why even bother. Name any Jazz icon. Bix Beiderbecke was boring. John Coltrane was boring. Miles Davis. The music is alive. Jazz snobs are boring. Getting a college degree in Jazz is boring. Jazz is instrument porn for musicians. Jazz is beautiful. The Golden Era of Jazz is dead. But the idea of Jazz will never die. Jazz is as boring as the musicians who play it. Casual across the board dismissal of things you don’t like or understand is boring. Cool people are boring

Beast, don’t hate on Ice T. Sure, he’s bogus now, but everything up to and including “OG: Original Gangster” is CORE.

And jazz is kind of like bourbon. Terrible the first time you try it, but also kind of intriguing. Then after a while you can’t get enough.

Poor Gage already IS old, older even than this supposedly old man listening to jazz and probably the oldest fucker commenting on this post.

I’m already in my 40’s and I’m dealing with it fabulously, thanks!

Jazz is something people seem to start appreciating when they get older. I think it makes men seem old. I think I am allowed to make that observation even being part of that demographic or no?

my dad wrote his thesis on jazz music (yikes I know). i didn’t have the opportunity to read it but he left all the records he used. one of them was this guy’s below :). i never quite “got” jazz either initially, i probably still don’t, nor would i try to turn you onto it. i just wanted to share…for whatever reason i put this album on my ipod a few years ago and turned it on when i was leaving a bar at night, it was raining, and myself and the legendary horn-player had a nice time walking home. that’s my 2 cents, well that and fuck the haters. i agree with what mr. beast said.
