And all very good stuff. I play baroque cello. I share your hates too Bounty - the only jazz I don't mind is big band Glen Miller type stuff.

I am not sure whether Glen Miller can truly be considered Jazz as his music contains very little of the original blues-based characteristics of real Jazz. Miller "cleaned up" the sound so that it didn't sound so "negro" as it would have been termed at the time. However, he did create a very acceptable sound that I am happy to listen to along side real Jazz!!

Yes that's true of course but I haven't found any 'proper' jazz that I like much, so that's the nearest thing I get to it.

Must admit Jazz is a bit random for me too.

I think Glenn Miller was more orchestral than typical Jazz and I too would not clasify him as Jazz. Too me there are two streams of Jazz: traditional like Chris Barber and Django Reinhardt (spelling?) and Big Band like Stan Kenton.

I like none of it, although I do quite like Miller.
