8/8 There's this cute girl who likes jazz music. I want to get involved
in some of her interests but I know anything about jazz music. Is
^- don't
there some sort of "Jazz 101 for Dummies" website that could help me?
\_ Talk to her about it. You don't come off as a poser or faker,
you show you're interested in what she does, and you interact
with a person instead of a book or TV.
\_ agreed!
\_ See search engine. Jazz 101 or Jazz FAQ.
\_ How about you ask her to take you to her fav local jazz weekly?
\_ Ask her to come up to your apartment to check the reed in your
saxomophone.
\_ Or ask her to play your trombone, your sliding trombone. (I got
this from a Cynthia Rothrock movie.)
\_ Listen to KCSM (FM 91.1 or http://www.kcsm.org 18 hours a day and
try to memorize everything the DJs say. This is not exactly a
Jazz 101 to help you understand the fundamentals, but you'll be
able to talk like you know jazz. But then I think music is not
something you should force yourself into if you don't like it.

\_ I like the first person's suggestion: Talk to her about it.
It's not good being a poser or a faker. And you may interact
with her, and it'll be a more honest relationship.
\_ Well, that's true. --- yuen
\_ Buy some classic Jazz CD's to see what you like. Kind of Blue,
Sketches of Spain, and Blue Train are good starters. Try listening
to things like Acid Jazz, percussion bands, and so forth too...
\_ Only need to remember one thing: Kenny G != Jazz
\_ Yeah, but if that cute girl thinks Kenny G == Jazz, he'd better
think so too.
\_ There was a Ken Burn's series on PBS about Jazz. Rent it/buy it/
or borrow it.
\_ Give it up jj. A relationship based on fraud never works out,
and you know it only too well. |
