Like the author, I also never pay attention to lyrics but unlike him I hate most jazz.
I don't like it because of several reasons. Firstly, the saxophone doesn't translate well to electronic mediums; it reminds me too much of the buzzing sound of a fly. It gives me a whiny, nagging feeling... puts me in the mood for swatting a fly.
Secondly, I associate it with the concept "superficial" - Probably because of the way it is used in movies.
- jay-anderson 7y agoI tend to agree that I don't like the harsher saxophone sound, but there are some great usages of the sax without that. Paul Desmond (played with Dave Brubeck) is a great example of this in my opinion.
- DrScump 7y agothe saxophone doesn't translate well to electronic mediums Perhaps a broader exposure to various saxophones and their players would help. For example, Grover Washington Jr. (e.g. Winelight) contrasted with the soprano sax of Jay Beckenstein (e.g. Spyro-Gyra's first 3 albums).
