Jazz music can do a lot to you as a person. It opens you up. It opens up your ears.
When you start listening to jazz , you become more aware of musical colour and intervals.
There is harmonic complexity in jazz. Means:
Harmony means multiple notes sounded together at the same time
Melody means a serial progression of notes preceding and succeeding each other.
These two are the two main components of jazz.
Jazz also treats bass as a separate entity, so thats another great thing we become aware of.
If you want to train your ears as a musician, listening to jazz is a great way to supplement and speed up your training.
Btw, just as a blooper or interesting fact(whichever way you wanna look at it). In the original Autumn Leaves track, you can hear Joe Pass breathing deeply near his guitar. His breathing is pretty deep, that means he's extremely relaxed. Cuz he plays some really fast passages in there.
If you're very good at music theory and want to explore more of it,
Jazz is for you.
There's plenty of music theory in it.
In fact, Jazz includes the most advanced music theory of all genres.
Smart Sentence: You'll get to learn about tritone substiutions and coltrane changes in jazz.
Lots of modes and lots of chromatics.
Rock and Jazz are the two genres that are built off of on the spot improvisations heavily.
Jazz makes your ears bigger, and calms you down from within.
Jazz makes you listen to itself. It makes your ears sensitive.
Some cool jazz tunes are:
Wes Montgomery - Four on Six
Joe Pass - Autumn Leaves
John Coltrane - Giant steps
