Trying some Jazz Music

Less than one minute read time.

Somebody suggested I gave jazz music a try.  Unfortunately I have only found two jazz albums in my vast music collection.   "Sketches Of Spain" by Miles Davis and "Collected" by Terry Callier.  I have been listening to both of them, but it became a bit of a struggle.  I do like "Sketches Of Spain" but I think it needs to be listened to carefully in one go.  It is definitely no good for the MP3 player which I listen to whilst travelling with regular interruptions.  I have also decided that I like my music to have lyrics, so I do slightly prefer the Terry Callier album. 

However I think the main problem is that genre of music does not cheer me up.  I like music to inspire and lift me, but all these two albums seem to do is to make me feel sad and gloomy.  Perhaps I have not chosen two very good examples.  A friend is sending me suggestions of some other jazz artists,  maybe I will find something more suitable there. 

So for now I am pleased to be at the end of the jazz experiment.  Maybe I will revisit it another day!
