Jazz is kinda like a contradiction
There's a very fine line where improv starts to feel like wankery
Jazz can be loose yet very firm and it’s just over all great to listen to
plus Jazz is a uniquely American invention
I need to start listening to more jazz
My uncle is a huge jazz/blues fan so I got to listen to a lot of BB King and Dr John growing up
My dad thinks that jazz is trash because he doesn't like the nonsense words and such.
Some jazz can be super abstract
Nice, I listen to mostly Count Basie, miles Davis, duke Ellington, etc. on occasion I like listening to Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, or even Benny Goodman when I’m in the mood for swing
I just pull up those 2 hour youtube jazz playlists and let em run
I have records that I like to listen to
I have a lot of swing records and only a few really good jazz records
ahh, swing music
haven't listened to stuff like that in years
I love swing, I like to dance to it cause it’s a lot of fun
I'm not a huge fan but trad girls seem to love it so I'd do once or twice a year in high school
Zoomers fucking love electroswing. Forget the 90s or 80s nostalgia/reboots, they are going all the way back to the 30s.
electroswing is *awesome*
Id rather choose swing over this disgusting twerking and humping trend thats been a thing for the last 10 years
big fax
classy yes
Yeah it's ridiculous
fun......eh, depends on you I suppose
For what it's worth I do ballroom and 99% of the people who are serious about it agree with you... though that might be colored by how much time we spend practicing haha
Ive been wanting to do ballroom for years
Reminder that your target for classy was the twerking of its era
Yeah can't deny that 😂
Probably was lol
There was a time when waltz was considered risqué and scandalous, too
Buuuut atleast its not intended to recreate mating movements
Because the men and women were touching
*touching*
*dont forget to leave enough room for Jesus*
lol
That was the issue people had with Elvis wasn't it?
Too suggestive
among others
His hip swinging? Yeah
well true but that was an era where Drinking of any kind was considered unchristian
I had to reconcile that when I started dancing back in the day
