Hello, internets.
Are you ready to be taken on a journey, nay, an adventure, the likes of which the world has never seen?
Once again, hello, internets, as I will be your guide on this adventure. This is an adventure of my own self-discovery. You see, I am a young high school student who really digs music. I play drums, and I just picked up guitar and piano last year; it's safe to say that music dominates my life currently. And so I have started this blog as a way to expand my own musical horizons. As of now, I currently listen to mostly rock, metal, alternative, and other genres of those ilk.
And yet, in my quest to become a better musician, I have decided to listen to jazz music, as I have heard that is the pinnacle of musical achievement; it is music at the highest form, and so if I myself want to play music of the highest form, I should listen to jazz music. And so this blog is a catalogue of my adventure through the daunting world of jazz music.
I will try to listen to at least a couple songs a day, and then blog my thoughts about them. Did I mention I know literally nothing about jazz music? The first few posts will most likely involve such mind-blowing technical terms as "thingy," "dude who plays that other horn instrument," "doos," and "dees." That is how someone who literally knows nothing about jazz music will describe what's going on, and hopefully it will be even slightly amusing to you, (hopefully) my readers.
Just letting you know what's about to go down, and so join me and learn more about jazz music!
i like how up front you are about your noobishness in the world of jazz. i am to a noob in american jazz. i think it might be interesting for you to look into gypsy jazz and jango Reinhardt, i think hes got some good songs and his music was a base for the Bioshock game he also had a brother named Nin Nin who had a uni-brow and played the banjo so whats not to love
