I have a confession to make. This is something I have felt inside for a long time. Some think I was born with it, some think I was just turned on to it by somebody. I struggled with telling people this for a long time, and I was afraid for years that my family would find out. I've been living a lie, and it's time to come clean, so I'm coming out!

I love jazz!

I love jazz and I don't care who knows it! I think people on this forum can be understanding. Most of my friends prefer the curves of a guitar, but I just love the sound of those long, thick saxophones...even the little flutes. Hearing the trombone slide in and out and in and out...I love them all!

And I'm not just talking about smooth jazz, you know, that stuff on the radio. I mean total, HARDCORE jazz. None of that Kenny G and David Sanborn...give me John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, even Pharaoh Sanders...free jazz...where a bunch of guys get together and play anything they want for hours. They just play and play and play. Plus, most jazz guys aren't tied down to one band, so they can play with any band they want. It's great!

It's been hard to find people to tell this to, because most jazz players look like everyone else. But buy a guy a few drinks and you find out all kinds of stuff about Phrygian modal playing!

I hope you all are understanding and can accept me for the jazz fan I am.

I can accept you as the jazz fan you are... at least you don't like Prince!

Are you really you? All of a sudden you can speak English, relatively fluently!

Have you tried the twelve bar program at Jazz Anonymous?

There's nothin wrong with jazz!

Don't worry it's cool I know what you're going through. Just play Bird and enjoy yourself. Jazz guitar rules too you know. Wes Montgomery is the man and Charlie Christian is the master.

Ohh, grasshoppa, you are now walking the path of enlightenment. Seek ye, the kingdom of JAZZ.

jazz is for music listeners who finally grow up, welcome to your Carlsberg years...

I have another confession to make. Of course I like jazz but everyone knows and I only started this thread in response to the bkw threads in General Discussion. That means this thread was really a joke and I had help writing it. Thank you all for your support and also for the suggestion to listen to jazz guitar. I have Pat Metheny's Song X on vinyl and compact disc also the "Kathelin Gray" 12" promo, as I told you, I am into HARDCORE jazz. Thank you for your time.

Why would that be a confession? If you EVEN like Briteny then 2 hell what everybody think, nobody is 4cing you to put yo $$$ on something you don't want

Peace

It is not a confession, it was a joke in reference to the bkw coming out thread in General discussion. Thank you for reading "Paper."

I'm really thinkin that this orger is somebody else. He used to be very aggressive, closeminded, calling people names and not being able to carry one single debate. Now he has changed 180 degrees. I wonder what happened.

Damn, I studied jazz and I dont know what that means. Is it the Sex Pistols jamming on "Kind of Blue" or something?
