  • I had a music teacher in college. We were talking about kind of just mixing up rhythm of the main melodies on pop songs and she mentioned how that was kind of what jazz was at its core.

    It just struck me as interesting because maybe at its inception, what she said is very true. But I look at jazz through the opposite lens. My introduction was with modern prog rock and jazz fusion, and working my way backwards in jazz and music history.

    I feel like we are at a very different place in the genre, now.

    Edit: Alternative answer - its kinda like porn vs art. It can be hard to describe where the line is, but you know it when you see/hear it.
