What sort of jazz?

(I’d say yes to your question.)

Yes. Indeed I dare say hundreds of millions of people have done just that.

Probably not, but what would I know. I actually tried listening to the album ‘Kind of Blue’ by Miles Davis last week. Just couldn’t get through it and it’s supposed to be at the summit of jazz recordings.

sorry, some F’n Dick once said,

I have a friend who’s an artist … He’ll hold up a flower and say “look how beautiful it is,” and … I can appreciate the beauty of a flower … the science knowledge only adds … only adds.

Good Jazz, yes.

But some jazz greats have played some really awful music.

Not impossible. But a rose by it’s scientific name would smell as sweet, if someone could figure out what its scientific name is.
