Andrea Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago I've been a frustrated jazz fan for so many years. I think it's because I was born with the internet age, and couldn't afford vinyls, so I listen on YouTube. 99% of the jazz I listen to have no lyrics. When I'm listening to Pink Floyd or The Doors, I can tell immediately, but not with jazz. But I think I'm not stuck on certain artists, but certain characteristics. I never got into early jazz. I love sad music. Minor keys with 7th chords, but diminished chords. Byzantine scales. I love slow-tempo so much, probably because I have enough anxiety, and I'm trying to listen to music that will make me feel better, as opposed to listening to the same 6,500 songs because I'm familiar with them, which gives me comfort. But I'm always looking to expand, so if you have recommendations, I would be grateful. When I say "greatest", I don't mean the most popular, but your favorites, OR, songs you think I'd love (and hopefully others reading this in the future). Quote
