It's not classical muisc. It's not modern music. It's the ageless, timeless jazz. There is no music like it. There never will be. It is pure, amazing music that will make your head start boppin', feet start hoppin', and body start dancing.
Jazz isn't necessarily better than every other genre of music. The other forms of music aren't, in any way, inferior to jazz. Classical music is beautiful. Country music has a soulful twang. Rap releases the frustrations and pent-up anger that people may harbor.
No, Jazz is great because it's all about movement. It is music from the mind that is music for the body. It is the swing of the beat, the spilling of rapid notes into an irresistible melody that encourages you to move to the rhythm of the beat. Sure, other songs can do the same thing for you, make you start dancing or rocking out. But nothing has the quality and overall blend of beauty, soul, and rhythm that jazz owns.
It is song made for everyone and anyone, anytime and anywhere. When you're sad, a slow, mournful jazz song will reiterate that same pouring of the heart. When you're happy, the jaunty beat and joyful tones of brass squeaking away in quick, euphoric notes will embrace your happiness. When you're mad, the furious pounding away and stomping of the drums and piano and bass, and discordant notes will pump you up. And when you just need to relax, jazz will lull you into a state of contentment, with the soft melodies of piano and brass, bass and drums, mixing and blending together into a beautiful peace.
And it's that diversity and variety in jazz that makes it so appealing to everyone. Try it now. You may find jazz songs that you simply cannot listen to or stand. But eventually, you'll stumble upon a jazz song that was made just for you. It'll capture your feelings at that moment, sing the story of your emotions, hopes, dreams, goals and thoughts throughout the entire song. You'll find it, the greatness of jazz. Because there isn't a single thing like it.
