    Why do I hate jazz ??

    It's an interesting thought but I think that appreciating something is not only intellectual. For example, I hate cilantro, I just have a terrible feeling when I eat it, no matter how hard I try to understand it, my taste doesn't change. Ditto for jazz, I'll be able to find it interesting to...

    Why do I hate jazz ??

    Why do I hate jazz ??

    I am well aware that this title here is a bit provocative and maybe even a bit inappropriate. I'm not trying to alienate the community, but I really want to understand what nobody has been able to explain to me yet... When I say that, people always try to make me listen to jazz pieces to show...
