My dad just bought Take Five, by Dave Brubek.
I saw him (Dave) play it live when I was in college ... in the 60's ... awesome experience.
I introduced a former client to the classics, at his request.
Knowing that I don't 'hear' jazz, he sent me the Brubeck CD (Time Out, etc.) and asked I listen to it at least twice. I was on nearly familiar ground with the Rondo a la Turk, the rest was gibberish to me. Jarring every nerve in my bod, I didn't have the heart to tell him. He took to the classics as a duck would ..... etc.
Fingernails manipulating a chalkboard, that is what jazz is to me.

like opera is cats on a back fence?
(I know)
You were speaking of chemicals and romance recently and I agree or it would not be called chemistry. (With pheromoans the most important, IMHO). IMHO chemicals also play an important role in music likes and dislikes, and in everything pertaining to human life.
I'm short a chem or two, therefore, I don't like jazz.
We need more smilies.
Yes, you do know. Your opera analogy is a classic. Some modern classical music is hideous and will go down with history.
