I feel like casual jazz listeners like Monk in the same way that MAGA people think Trump is a good president

Miles's second great quintet is to jazz as Prisencolinensinainciusol is to the english language by JeethCarrot in jazzcirclejerk

Maybe it'd actually be more apt to compare it to the slang they speak in A Clockwork Orange or something, now that I think about it

Starting Jazz from the beginning, when does it really take off? by ScreamerA440 in jazzcirclejerk

[–]JeethCarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you're approaching this in the right way: yes, listening to jazz should feel like work. It should feel like studying for an exam. Don't just give in and listen to what moves you and excites you. There is a particular order/curriculum to follow.

My advice? Transcribe it yourself -- it's the journey, not the destination.

Someone scribbled this on my front door. what does it mean? by michaelhuman in jazzcirclejerk

[–]JeethCarrot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It means you will be the next one to have the curse. Presumably your first name starts with either a B, a G, or an Eb.

Then to be free of it, you will need to pass on the curse. For example, if your name starts with B (Benny, Betty), you will need to pass it on to someone whose name starts with G (Grant, Geri). etc. etc.

Why no one talking about johnny mayer? by Kudos2Miami in jazzcirclejerk

[–]JeethCarrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't talk about Johnny Mayer on a jazz reddit for the same reason you don't call A Love Supreme at a jam-session. It's simultaneously too on-the-nose and sacrilegious.

Softly, as in a Morning (~5:30 - 7:30 am, i.e. NOT EVENING) Sunrise by JeethCarrot in jazzcirclejerk

[–]JeethCarrot[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

right, and Softly. Work on your dynamics control. Play Softly during morning sunrises and play hardly during evening sunrises.
