Thanks Taft!

Imagine not like liking jazz like some of our tone deaf bros here.

I love some jazz tinged rock but can't really say I'm a jazz guy. I know it's a pretty broad genre and a lot of well liked American music falls within it even though most don't realize it.

It's the genre of cocktail receptions and elevator music.

Christ. Listen to the first 3 mins of this. Especially starting at 1:37. This is as technically proficient shredding as anything EVH did.

You're out of touch

The trumpet hurts my ears. Some of those notes actually made me wince.
I know that Miles Davis is considered to be an all-timer and all that. That's fine. To be fair about my cocktail reception comment, it's not this kind of jazz that they play at those events.

Do you have tinnitus or something, boss? Miles Davis' runs on the trumpet are some of the most beautiful sounds ever recorded by a human to wax.
-
Tinnitus? Maybe. Some of those high notes that come out of nowhere are like nails on a chalkboard.
I freely admit I am not a cultured man. The mish-mash of sounds forced together on that 14-minute long track overwhelms my ears.
I assume jazz is something that you love or hate.

I will die on the hill that jazz is amazing and critical to understanding the history of popular music in the 20th century. But at the same time, I get that it's not for everyone which is fine. The world would be a boring place if we all had the same tastes.
For whatever reason, I've just always had very eclectic tastes ranging across so many genres. In the same day I can listen Mile Davis, Sinatra, Van Halen and Hank Williams. As long it's old, old man Yella likes it.
