My dog and I both love jazz.I like most everything dependent on time and place. Some more than others and more often of course. Jazz for me is a cool piece if it is organic.

I did that trip too and found it to be good.I have a generational anchor in jazz from the '50s and '60s but I love a lot of the pre-WWII stuff.
Can you link some examples?There are many jazz albums from the '50s where every song or almost every song, is based on the chords to "I Got Rhythm." E. g. a lot of Charlie Parker. When jazz players play standards you have to be able to tie what they're playing to the melody/chords of the song to enjoy it
Melodious Thunk is one unto himself for sure... LoL.Then there are players like Monk.
You don't know what a Leslie is?I have no idea what you are saying although I guess it is a insider joke.
Look for organic live jazz stuff that is good. Virtuosos of jazz is what you want to hear.I would love to love Jazz.
What is the best way to get into it? (ignoring live events - little jazz round here)

Hammond B3 organs & Leslie speakers were paired together quite often. Hammond being a more mannish name & Leslie being a more feminine (yes, I know a very few men named Leslie), but it seemed to go together to me.I have no idea what you are saying although I guess it is a insider joke.
Dood! Do you eat jazz????

Yes, Hammonds (B3s in particular) and Leslies do go together.

Jerry Garcia's vocal on the (otherwise? ) beautiful song Rosemary from their third album, aoxomoxoa, was recorded through a Leslie.
I think (???) George Harrison's* guitar solo on Cream's song Badge probably was as well.

Yep, Leslie's are self contained (amp, speakers, motor drive). And, if someone knows what they are doing, they can be paired with many instruments. But, like many other things, just because you can stick them together, doesn't mean you should.Guitars on The Doobie Brothers' Another Park Another Sunday were also run through Leslies to get that phase-y sound.
I would assume that now, such an effect would be accomplished via a "Leslie plug-in" in a DAW.
Our neighbor when I was growing up called them "arts & crap shows."Yep, Leslie's are self contained (amp, speakers, motor drive). And, if someone knows what they are doing, they can be paired with many instruments. But, like many other things, just because you can stick them together, doesn't mean you should.
George Carlin once said something to the effect of: You can take two things that never have been stuck together before, nail them together & take them to an arts & craft show. And some schmuk will buy it.
