I want to, but don't.
I "appreciate" the genre. I understand the wonderful creativity, the freedom, and sometimes the genius of the composer.
But the bizarre syncopations (if there are any syncopations), and-- to me-- the absence of rhythm, I cannot listen. Even Miles Davis
Witches Brew and some of John Coltranes masterpieces is hard for me to listen for longer than a few minutes. It's like this
By no means am I putting this genre down; I just wish I could like it more.
Why do some people like avant garde and others do not? Is it an acquired fondness?
Thanks for any feedback!
