Tunes dedicated to people other than, say, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Florence Mills, or Willie "The Lion" Smith, especially those dedicated to "high class" avant-garde literary artists...."

Tunes with single word titles that allude to physics; seems to be a quick way to add gravitas.

Tunes with single word titles that allude to Eastern religion or philosophy; seems to be a quick way to add spirituality.

Tunes (or album titles) with apostrophes.

Jazz that sets out to be relevant to young people today (as opposed to jazz that set out to be good and tries to engage young people today).

2. It ensures you spend long periods in a sedentary position instead of taking exercise.

3. It leads you to spend far to much time in rooms (or chat rooms) filled with other men.
