Especially the bit ...In Defence of Jazz<BR/><BR/>I LOVE jazz. Especially the bit where they all play different songs at once. Freeform acid? A seared-edged high in which you leave the day's cares behind and focus on the one issue of understanding the precession of the form, something women rarely do because they're too busy multitasking which is why instrumental jazz is generally a man's game. It's like suddenly understanding a piece of complex maths, or playing chess against a good opponent, or reading a text in a language you barely speak. <BR/><BR/>To listen to jazz is to surf along a soliton wave of delighted, dawning comprehension. I take mine with a bourbon chaser. <BR/><BR/>I can't get anyone to come to listen to it with me. Your post explains why.The Aunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14529168814096715981noreply@blogger.com
