Sounds like my impression from Jazz concerts I have been to. They often felt sterile and emotionless to me. I like it when musicians feed off their audience's emotions and don't just do their thing.

- analog31 8y agoCome to the Midwest. I started learning jazz in the late 70s, and have been performing in public for about 25 years. About half of the players I work with have music degrees, the rest are dedicated amateurs like myself. The multiple comments I'm reading here, about jazz being rigid, traditionalist, and stuffy, are foreign to me. Even many of the lower profile performances of classical and chamber music are pretty laid back. It could be that the atmosphere of jazz performances reflects the local culture, rather than being driven by jazz itself.
