While I enjoy jazz, I can at least agree that this particular example is not very listenable for the uninitiated.
The pace is quick, and the backing under Pat's solo is very sparse - just some drums and a quick walking bass, the keyboardist is barely audible for half the piece. Easy to lose track of where they are in the changes unless you know the piece well. If you know a jazz standard well though, it becomes easier to appreciate where the soloist subverts or plays around the changes.
