Steve Albini on Jazz

I used to work with a guy who said stuff like this. He was a guitarist and always said jazz was easy and he could play jazz if he wanted to but that punk and metal and buttrock was better musically. So one day I asked him to play Autumn Leaves with me to show me how easy jazz was. I gave him the lead sheet and pulled up the backing track on YouTube.

>he asks me what key it’s in
>tell him Bb
>he quickly starts sounding out the Bb blues scale and pentatonic pattern
>I play the melody then let him play a solo
>he just aimlessly plays notes from the Bb blues scale with no real sense of rhythm or phrase and bends the notes a lot
>finishes his “solo” in the middle of the second chorus
>looks at me proudly as though he just played a blistering bebop solo and proved himself right
>mfw he actually thinks that’s what jazz is

afterwards did you laugh and say to him "you are fucking retarded" ?

Just because you haven't heard of one of the most accomplished producers who has worked on thousands of records doesn't mean he's a literal who you newfag zoomer

Wow so YOU know what jazz truly is...
So confident.
So inspiring.
So much respect.
*lol*
Jazz is just like hip hop.

You know, if it was a great composer saying this or something I could maybe take it a little bit more seriously. But when you listen to the garbage music that Albini makes and produces it becomes pretty obvious that this is just hardcore cope.

based Albini triggering Jazz elitist autists

Lol name 5 of his records that matter and if I recognize even 1 of them I'll admit I was wrong. And if I don't recognize any I'll listen to one and tell you why it never was successful

Wrong.
