Say, i'd like to listen to music produced by Brian Eno. Or composed by Max Martin. Or performed by Masayoshi Takanaka. Surely artist/track is not helpful there

- crazygringo 3y agoI mean sure, but as those artists illustrate, that's nothing about jazz specifically. And 99+% of people have no interest in anything outside the artist -- they're self-described fans of Britney Spears, not Max Martin. But of course streaming services seem to find ways to surface at least some of that, e.g. there's an official Spotify playlist of songs Max Martin has written/produced: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWXDAhqlN7e6W?si=8c9baa6d6c7a4084 https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWXDAhqlN7e6W?si=...
- stephencanon 3y ago> And 99+% of people have no interest in anything outside the artist This is precisely something that's different about jazz, though--there's often no reasonable notion of "the" artist. It would be perfectly reasonable and expected for someone to say "play me some music with Paul Chambers on bass," which off the top of my head would get recordings led by Trane, Miles, the Adderley brothers, Chet Baker, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Sonny Clark, Philly Joe Jones, JJ Johnson, Sonny Rollins, and I'm sure that I'm remembering only a small fraction. As you note, people don't really do that with pop, or even classical. People do look for music with a certain soloist or conductor, but they mostly don't ask for music with a certain principal clarinetist.
