I am a really mediocre player. But one can be a mediocre cook and understand and appreciate fine cuisine, or a couch athlete and understand the subtleties of football strategies. It's the difference between passive analysis and action.
And I certainly understand if someone dislike jazz. But saying it's not music is like saying Picasso's paintings are like a three-year old's drawings.

- rStar 5y agoscoot didn’t say it wasn’t music, and i’d rip him a new one, metaphorically, if he did. he said it wasn’t musical. many people say that to mean it doesn’t have a melody they like or can attach themselves to. i also think he may have meant to say use the word ‘lyrical’ which some use in the same way. i get you though.
- rStar 5y agortsil - i also very much agree with your first paragraph there.
