I only listen to obscure street rap and homeless people jazz. Some of the shit I own is one of a kind. You can't even find it on the internet, it's only on a special CD, or the shit I recorded from street bums playing some sick ass jazz n blues in SF.

refute what? It's just a retarded fucking statement. If what you're trying to say is that it's just people showing off with their instruments, then you clearly don't know jazz at all. Charles Mingus wound up writing Bach-style classical-influenced jazz. The best jazz is just as moving and cathartic as anything any other genre can come up with.
>>
>>66466430
but its true tho. music - like all other art form - is just wankery

>>66466430

> all these albums are just "muh synth and computer" wankery

Correct

> all these albums are just "muh turntable" wankery

Correct

> all these albums are just "muh violin and piano" wankery

Correct to an extent

The best music is melodic.

Explain what is good about it?

>Charles Mingus wound up writing Bach-style classical-influenced jazz

I don't believe this. Almost all jazz is muh cool sax solos and epic drumming. The only jazz albums of real value are Kind Of Blue a Silent Way and The Black Saint
>>
>>66466472
Music and drawing is mostly wankery. Real art is film, and not muh visuals crap like Enter the Void or 2001 a pleb odyssey. Citzien Kane is real art. Rashomon is real art. The 7th seal. Music just can't compete, it will always be a background thing.

you don't believe this because you're a retard who doesn't know shit about jazz and just makes stuff up.

That thing about Mingus making Bach-style jazz is literally what this album is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKd_f2QBpvQ
>>
>>66466552
I've heard all the major jazz albums. It's mostly just wankery. That album in particular is the same way, but it does show tiny flashes of brilliance.

How can they compete with the likes of The Beach Boys and The Beatles, who were masters of vocal harmony?

lol. I've seen plenty of obscure movies, however the best ones aren't "obscure", as you like to call it, and that's for a reason. You need money to make movies.

On the contrary, every single album in this thread is pretty much entry level. I've listened jazz albums that you've never even heard of before kid.
