Message: [QUOTE="David321, post: 4160369, member: 8170"] Typical criticisms of classical music made by a jazz fan. Technical precision is soulless and pretentious? That’s absurd. Spare me your indignation for merely stating an opinion on what my favorite genre of music is. I wonder if I would have still received your correction if I said the same about jazz. You want to know what’s pretentious? The gatekeepers of the jazz music community. What they allow to be considered jazz is always an endless debate. Look how they treat Kenny G for example. Much of jazz music sounds like disorganized noise in comparison to classical music. I’ll take Beethoven or Vivaldi over Miles Davis any day. Though I will admit I like his Birth of the Cool. [/QUOTE]
