Help.. I'm listening to jazz

[Otta]

So your child is in to trad jazz mockney? Whilst not totally excusable, it could be a damned sight worse.

Just watch he doesn't move to the hard stuff! Hopefully it's just a phase.

(Sorry Moos)

But surely.... Trad jazz > the 'other' kinds that are REALLY irritating?

The Mocklet = B)

[Moos]

My tolerance for this joke these days > my tolerance for it a few weeks ago.

Katienumbers = :)-D

Not necessarily... "the plinky plonky stuff" could encompass your modern jazz, free jazz, avant-garde, styles.

I believe the "slap bass/naff synth/wanky utterance" stuff Mockney was referring to would fall into the "fusion" bracket... as peddled by the rather irritating Courtney Pine, or even Miles Davis in his later career.

So what you're saying is that there's both 'good jazz' and 'bad jazz'?

How can you tell which is which? Can you tell by the cover? I liked the look of this one (two brightly coloured parrots accompanied by the word 'jazz'? Count me in.)

But then when I started listening it was just a load of jazz. Still, it's the first time I've read YouTube comments and more or less agreed with them.

It's all tosh...

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Sorry Moos, but KNumbers is correct. Anything up to 1947 is cool, after that ...

You're on your own.

[Moos]

Why is everyone Sorry Moosing me these days? Is it cos I admitted to not reading the Guardian?

I'll get that Strafer.

[HonaloochieB]

Moos, 'Sorry Moosing' is the new 'You couldn't make it up' amongst us sharp-nosed media types with the trilby/fedora with the 'PRESS' card sticking out of the hatband.

And I'm not even lying.

[*Bob*]

Complete the following in no more than ten words:

Jazz is ..........................................................

(Otta: no more than one word)

[HonaloochieB]

...as Jazz does.

[*Bob*]

Nice.

I'm going to go with:

Jazz is... wham-bam jikka-jikka rat-a-tat-tat POW!

[katie1997]

Er...that's 11 words.

Unless you meant 'up to 10 words' after 'Jazz is...'. In which case, you could add an extra POW! If you wanted to, that is.

Jazz is a barber on Lordship Lane ?

[Moos]

Think you could get away with dropping that second 'tat', Bob. Just trying to help.

...usually found, damp, in woods or railway sidings.

[Moos]

Is this a jazz fusion thread now? Mockers appears to be stirring in the Mosquitos thread, and possibly a crime drama thread.

I'm sorry Moos, but I've looked into it and - if you look at the score of Chingford Blues - I think you'll find that I'm right on this one.

[Ted Max]

I'm giving that a special "post solo" murmur of applause *Bob*.

[Brendan]

Me, I like the jazzzz. It's like bathing in marbles.

[Ted Max]

Ladiesngennlmn, *Bob* on alto PhotoShop...

[*Bob*]

Photoshop?! The cheek.

I should say that 'Chingford Dreams' will be released on the Brown Note label in early Autumn: part of a experimental collection of songs composed entirely on the M25 and entitled Chimney Pots and Semibreves.
