RE: Music hasn't gotten worse. YOU have

in OCD4 years ago

I think again there's still an endless supply of what you speak, but the mainstream considers ed sheeran super talented because he can play guitar and sing at the same time. Insufferable. But you just watch, say, Tigran Hamasayan play piano and beatbox in utterly bizarre unheard of rhythms and time signatures, and you can easily get your mind blown!

Basically, like your video above, we need to bring back to jazz elements in our lives, be it ska like the above, funk or fusion. That's where it's all at. Those I follow who incorporate jazz into various fusions create some of my favourite music of all time.

Sort:  

Jazz is all about the freedom, its the purest form of musical expression that I am aware of.

It mixes well with just about anything!

I'll switch off anything that sounds dehumanizing, most "manufactured" mainstream is mostly just noise masquerading as music. (Kenny G ISN'T music, its a sonic weapon.)

That is a true jazzhead, they ALL do that, listen carefully to any serious jazz musician, and they all are scatting along with whatever is going on in their mind, sometimes you hear it on Art Blakey recordings etc.

Its not new!

Oh i know it's not new, but the complexity of what he does is. The things he experiments with have people rushing to analysis and discussions on how its even done... super interesting.

But yeah I think we're definitely on the same page here. Stop quantizing everything!

Its called "pushing the boundaries" its a part of the human experience.

Superhuman raw natural talent is often a prerequisite.

He "feels" something, puts into context, it may be complex to us, and it might be simple for him.
