Wife Challenge

Homie if you married a woman who doesn't like jazz that's on you, not her. Plenty of wives are musical and love this kind of stuff.

My wife likes Kid Rock, Bon Jovi and Poison.
We dealio.....

 

[Strummerfan]

Not my cup of tea. I like to listen to Jazz + Jazz =Jazz.

 

[kombi1976]

For the record, my wife said “What the bloody hell is that. Sounds like 2 cats on a fence.” All I’m going to say is there’s a reason that woman is lonely.

 

[mrmatt1972]

She likes it.

 

[Lonnie00]

I gave it 1:05 and couldn't take anymore myself. She never looked up from her book.

Please, don‘t any free jazz lovers get offended. It’s just a joke. I remember this being posted on the wall at music school. Most of us got a good laugh out of it until a free jazz loving professor took it down.

That sounds like the play-list of a show called 'Rise' that I fell asleep to sunday nights on kpfk in LA for 13 years - very heavy on the sun-ra. It also happened to be the tastes of the director of a non-profit venue I ran door or sound for here in Bellingham, WA so we would get which ever modern local equivalents were to be found. Also some throat-singing troupes from NE Asia.

Listened to a lot of late night freeform underground radio stations back in Chicago around 1969-1976. Triad Radio was a favorite that played a lot of the above with Sun-ra, Pharoah Sanders, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Ravi Shankar and beyond.

How do you anti-jazz people feel about Sonic Youth?

You want a wifey challenge?

Yesterday I made the mistake of keeping Ice Cube's first album on when my wife came into the room, during the song You Can't Fade Me.....let's just say it didn't end well.

Hard bop or no jazz for me & the Mrs.

 

[wombat66]

Guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm still surprised by how many rock musicians wear their intolerance of music that's outside of their wheelhouse as a badge of honor.

 

[subtomic]

Neither did I. Gender has nothing to do with it. I get what Coleman does and I get free jazz as well, I just cannot listen to it unless I am trying to make all the guests at my house leave quickly but I usually put on death metal for those circumstances.

Effective, but I prefer this as my party punctuation



On our 2nd or 3rd date, my wife and I saw the opera Nixon in China. Even though it’s a rather dissonant piece of music, my wife found it interesting. However, the narrative of the 2nd act left us both pretty perplexed.

I’ll have to play her some Ornette. I have the Beauty is a Rare Thing box set and so there are a few cuts to choose from there.

my spouse can't handle a lot of stuff i like...she's a pop purist with an incredible ear...she doesn't play an instrument or sing, so it's amazing to me that her ear is so developed - way beyond many "musicians" i've known...she can hear three seconds of a tune and make an identification of the artist or a sophisticated comparison that blows my mind because MY ear is really good...let's just say she's not a big blues fan...

It's hard for me to understand now how someone could not like Lonely woman. It's a very atmospheric, memorable tune with a noirish tone. Maybe it's just because people associate Coleman with free jazz? But Lonely woman is very far from being harsh as the majority of free jazz, I'm not sure I would even consider it free jazz, more a transitional work in the best possible way.

 

[Kevy_Metal]

The last time I put on something that drove my partner insane was the album “Monoliths & Dimensions” by Sunn0))).

Try it sometime, highly recommended.

 

[marvin cobain]

Lonely Woman is normally classified as free jazz, not bop. It's not really focused or tight enough to be bop.

Well, the head of the tune is clearly composed and it's very memorable and melodic (it's in fact, a beloved tune covered over and over by tons of musicians) and it's more a transitional work than real free jazz. I would say it's closer in many ways to that post-bop movement that someone called "in & out" (Andrew Hill, Eric Dolphy, early Sam Rivers) than what is usually considered free jazz.

Although the head is composed, I wouldn't call it very memorable or melodic, but that's just me. In any case, you're right that it's not pure free jazz.

My wife idolizes “Bey”. She had the nerve the other day to call out bad lyrics in a Verve Pipe song I played. This coming from a singer who has lyrics like “bag swag”.

 

[DanR]

I have no Mrs around here. I'm not a jazz buff but I didn't mind listening to it. I do listen to Real Jazz on SiriusXM in my car. In a way, I don't understand jazz but it's nice to listen to in the car sometimes.
