Apart from hip hop and r&b, Jazz is my favorite genre. Every producer and artiste has a source of inspiration. Some have multiple sources. In my case, jazz is a major source of inspiration. I literally meditate with jazz. I just love the feel you know? I'm the type of person that likes to connect with the music I listen to. I have that connection with jazz music all the time. The soft and smooth saxophones, the intricate, swift piano melodies, the soothing bass, and the light drums. All these elements combined create the beauty that is Jazz. Jazz reflects my personality. The chill laid back feel, and the constant improvisation explains my life pretty much (I'm always calm and relaxed even when I'm not supposed to be). I appreciate the complexities of Jazz and the fact that it breaks all the traditional rules of music theory. Jazz was originally a rebel genre. In the past it has been connected with immorality and "sin". People have even called it the devil's music. The truth is people reject what they can't understand. In my intermediary piano playing days, I practiced a lot of jazz pieces by famous jazz musicians like Duke Ellington and Thelonius Monk. I may not be a jazz instrumentalist or whatever but I am a big fan of the genre and it inspires me. What is your favorite genre? Feel free to leave a comment below.
