The worst but humorous jazz song ever created.

[Fordiesel69]

If you want to have some fun, play this as any passenger gets into your vehicle, regardless if family, friends, coworker, or stranger (uber). See how long it takes before they give you the side eye and asked to change it. Most of my friends tolerate it for about 3-4 minutes. Nobody has reached the 5:40 mark which is where it takes on a whole new definition of chaos.

Over the years I have had to make emergency trips to the radio to either yank the cord or change the station. This goes for youtube as well. I have always found ways to outdue myself in saying, "this one takes the cake as officially the worst music I have ever heard." Nope this one is! Apparently from what I have read is one complete jazz quartet (full band) played the left stereo side, and another complete quartet played the right stereo side, then it was combined. This song was so far off the charts, the song "Free Jazz" was intended to be nothing more than a title, ironically it later became an actual genre. In my opinion not for the better. Total musical garbage.

Yup. It takes more than musical instruments to make music.

Try scaring up a recording of "Hakamalaka Christmas".
It opens with some vocalist speaking the title's 7 syllables using the tones of the beginning of "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer".
Then it's just apes banging on...whatever.
You wonder who decides to make this garbage and how much available manufacturing capacity there is.

That was instrumental proto-rap noise. A musical migraine headache.

Sounds like every other jazz song i have heard.

Jazz sounds like 3 or 4 people playing different songs at the same time.

Your ethnic arthritis is showing.

But not surprising, coming from a BITOG "regular".

Sounds like one of Frank Zappa's guys directed a whole jazz orchestra.
Just remember, Don't eat the yellow snow!

Jazz is a very broad term. I'm not a fan of "Free Jazz" but most of it is pretty decent!

Ethnic?

Now Louie Armstrong I like. Didn't realize he was considered jazz.

It's the off beat syncopated music I can't stand.

Like they say, blues is ten thousand people watching musicians play three or four chords.

Jazz is three or four people watching musicians play ten thousand chords.

As with any music, you either like it or you don't.

Sort of... I wasn't allowed to not like Lawrence Welk as a kid. Polka makes me tap my foot but also gives me hives. I still sometimes find myself sitting in the corner bumping my head against the wall.(Just kidding about the hives and hitting my head)

I kinda love how chaotic that sounds lol - next time fade it in slowly instead of blasting it, people get way more confused before they realize what’s happening.

Saying "I don't like X" is one thing. Describing something one doesn't understand or care for in ignorant and insulting terms is another.
Non-musicians typically don't realize that often their favorite musicians are influenced by musical genres they (listeners) don't like.

My observation is most people's emotional taste in music is "baked in" by their late teens.

I disagree. There is nothing ignorant or insulting about that statement.

Music, like Ice Cream, is a matter of taste. If I like vanilla/chocolate swirl, that doesn't mean I am ignorant or insulting. I know ice cream is made of mostly milk or cream and flavorings. Am I insulting Breyer's or another person who likes strawberry ice cream because I don't order strawberry ice cream? Of course not.

It is ignorant and insulting to assume that if one doesn't agree with another's taste in music or ice cream, then that person is ignorant or insulting.

 

[circuitsmith]

There is nothing ignorant or insulting about that statement.

Exactly which statement are you referring to?
The rest of your post doesn't seem to refer to THE STATEMENTS (not necessarily the people!) I found ignorant & insulting, to wit:

Total musical garbage.

Jazz sounds like 3 or 4 people playing different songs at the same time.

A musical migraine headache.

Suppose I said "American cars are total garbage", or "rock music is total garbage", or "coffee is total garbage", some might prefer I express my tastes in a more diplomatic way. [fin]

@circuitsmith

Expressing feelings, emotions, and opinions on a topic are ok as long as they follow BITOG rules. You can agree or disagree with an opposing opinion or comment.

Yes, we all would prefer more nuanced responses, but broad-brushing people as ignorant or insulting because you disagree with their opinions or tastes is inappropriate.

Here is a true jazz standard that admits the whole genre is off key.

Desafinato Portugese word for 'off key'.
