We all listen to some jazz from time to time. I have always wondered whether
(a) there is a specific mood for tuning into some Jazz
OR
(b) you can listen to Jazz anytime – it suits all moods!
So go on and tell us, when and why do you listen to Jazz. And yes – do tell us what do you listen to :)
Lately I’ve been finding that I can only listen to it when I’m in a specific mood. I find myself listening to jazz more when I’m cooking a meal in the kitchen or while driving in the car.
I find the different styles of jazz suits many different moods. The early New Orleans stuff has a very different sound than Big Band, for instance.
Just look a Miles Davis… his career spanned 5 or 6 distinct styles. My favorite was “cool jazz”, a style he pioneered. “The Birth of the Cool” is probably my all-time favorite jazz recording.
