I listen to every era of symphonic music. Chamber music. Rock, blues. Doo Wap. Opera.
From Black Sabbath to Mozart back around to Wagner.
Jazz always sounds atonal and arrhythmic to me.
I’ve tried hundreds of times, thinking maybe there’s an “acquired taste” component.
It just leaves me cold.
I’m not a big Jazz fan either. But... A friend once invited me to join him at a live Jazz venue in Seattle. Jazz Alley I think, it’s supposed to be one of the finest venues in the World.
Great venue, food, not a bad seat in the house and world class/famous artists. I’ve now been about 4 times and really like it. The music is much better live.
Find a live venue and see how it strikes you differently.
My music taste like yours, very diversified with Heavy Metal Rock/Roll/Punk being my primary...
other than with Dave Brubeck I'd pretty much agree
