I never understood why people listen to radio music and don't even know what is out there, it's like seeing the same dull basic painting over and over again.

There is a brutality to the work of artists like Albert Ayler or Milford Graves that transcends the intellectual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwkHCLI1j1w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwkHCLI1j1w
- tr0ut 9y agoNo it is true. I said all music genres share a common ground. We can take all genres of music and boil them down to a structure. What makes Jazz different than Heavy Metal? Or better, what makes Bebop different than Big Band or Fusion? They all share the "Jazz" element that we recognize as being uniquely Jazz. Its the Rhythms, notes, chord progression, modals, timbre and harmonies. You get the idea.
