Jazz is crap. People swoon over it as they cannot say the Emperor has no clothes and thereby appear unhip. It has one use only - as the successor to Muzak in restaurants and elevators as one never minds talking over the sound of it.

Very well stated!!! I am 66 & think this is GODLIKE! However, I listen to a WIDE VARIETY of music! I also feel that Porcupine Tree & Tool are GODLIKE! I love all of the mixes on RP! Thank You RP!!! A LOT of current music will be ICONIC & GODLIKE in 20-40 years!
It’s better to accept a range of music, keep the aperture wide. There is great jazz, great prog, great Classic rock, great world music. But, as Jon Stewart was fond of saying, “90% of everything is crap.”

Young people these days....and really since the turn of the century, or even a little before......seem to prefer listening to something that doesn't require much thought or introspection. And it's really a shame. Most of the music from the mid 60's (psycedelic era) and some even into the 70's (Rush/Kansas/Steely Dan for example), as well as jazz, requires more thought and effort to enjoy then they are capable of exercising. It's not crap...it's just that you are incapable of understanding it. Kind of like the difference between basic math and geometry.....or the difference between Beavis and Butthead and Albert Einstein.

maybe at 4am this might sound ok but not during prime time drive time
I can understand people not liking it, but rating this a 1 should come with a penalty of some sort
Its a rainy day so I can't sail - this is a pretty decent substitute. Puts me in the same frame of mind.

Everybody can like or dislike the songs, but that is where you can just rate the song and skip it if you don't like it.
I'm interested in well reasoned comments about like or dislike, hoping that i'll learn something. But when somebody says "this song is crap", that's not well reasoned.
Also, in this instance, it's factually incorrect. This song is amazing and took a high level of musical composition and performance skill to create (just because it's not played at a ridiculous tempo doesn't mean it doesn't take a lot of skill to play).
Someone may not like it, and that's ok, but it's definitely not "crap".

Though it doesn't have anything to to with being young or old, but the open-mindedness to listen to it even though it is not what one might be used to.
And to expand on your metaphor: Not many enjoy complex math in their free time, but those that do will do so very intensively.
As the quoted comment is an answer to an anti-jazz comment: Everybody can like or dislike the songs, but that is where you can just rate the song and skip it if you don't like it. There is no need to write an angry comment as other people will like it. It is radio paradise's eclectic mix not without a reason.

It's the variety and the audio quality that sets RP apart from all the rest. Just like old timey FM radio, only better sound quality. I miss the world map showing where people are listening.
legendary coolness.
Freddie Hubbard on trumpet. Wow wow wow and wow.
Makes me want to lay back, close my eyes, pour myself a brandy and chill.. 
This will draw hecklers but Blood, Sweat and Tears did a great version of this, post DCT. They were (and continue to be, with nary a single original member) a terrific instrumental group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

That trumpet half way through the track gets way too much attention...
Politics, religion, and music. It amazes me how people can look at the exact same animal and see or hear something entirely different.
MOOOORE Jazz please
Timeless.
Generations from now, some guy in a space colony will be playing this and staring out the window like I'm doing now - but maybe looking at the Earth. His kids will be griping about the old crap music sounds. And he will just be smiling like I am now because of the way it makes us feel.

Nice drumming though.

Jazz does not have to get any better. I get a shiver from this tune
My first maiden voyage sounded nothing like this.
Not quite as fast as Hebbie on his album cover but i got a first try sailing a sunfish this summer. It was a bit water logged... as it was probably created around 1965 too. Still cool that something 50years old can bring a smile long after it's maiden voyage.

Jazz improvisation is more like fractaling than "noodling". Noodles are just a mushy pile of repeated forms, while jazz takes a basic musical idea and expands it with related patterns into a complex system of sound that develops over time.

More Jazz Bill...I have been a HH fan ever since I saw him at the Whiskey a go go, on Sunset in the early 70's. On the same bill were the Pointer Sisters - four of them! Great night, never forgotten
First time I hear this one: nice!

Jazz can be smooth without being lightweight. A gem.
Seems this is out of rotation but I was lucky enough to catch it on PSD.
A tasteful treat.

It's nice but a bit too long and repetitive in the end...

Wow. This is really relaxing and is whetting my appetite for some other jazz. I may have to take a brief reprieve here shortly...
one of the best pieces of music ever !!! thanks to RP for playing this ...

Back when I was young, ignorant and wet behind the ears musically, I didn't appreciate jazz either... That is, until I heard Miles Davis. Just couldn't fail to hear the genius in his music.
This is nice. Very nice.
Ditto for me. First time I heard Miles' version of "Summertime" my ears finally heard something to love in jazz. I didn't know if I liked jazz but I knew I liked that. And my interest in jazz branched out from there. Not a bad starting point.

maiden voyage. good name for first release. it's hard to believe he was still developing his chops when he put this out. great stuff...
Whoow! This sounds great!! Don't really know Hancock, but I should!!
It's nice to hear this instead of 'Canteloupe Island'...for a change. Not that "CI" isn't good, but I'm wearing thin of that one since it gets lots of playtime here.
Not my cup o' tea either. But having played horn in the school band I recognize the level of talent. Solid 8
I prefer the Toto cover version. . .

Honestly, I think jazz is enjoyed primarily by other musicians — folks that have the experience to appreciate the performer's technique, and the patience to appreciate all the weirdness.
I think people that prefer beige probably do not enjoy jazz.

Exactly. Jazz is not for the simple-minded.
It's not that I don't like Jazz, or whether or not I like beige, but any generally any music that has 14 million notes in one measure makes me reach for the mute button...
Flashback. In an old rented house, early 1970s. Dark out, incense and candles and other smells floating through the air. Everyone very chill. We loved Herbie, and Miles, and The Soft Machine. Whatever happened to them I wonder?

This is in that category of songs which I respect but don't actually like.
This is one of those records my dad adores, and I've come to appreciate it as well.
For those who just don't get it, there's nothing wrong with you. It's OK not to get it. Jazz of this sort was never a popular music, and it can take a certain amount of listening and effort and learning to really make sense of it. There's no moral imperative that says you have to bother, but some people find this kind of music tremendously rewarding. But yeah, it's sort of the opposite of easy listening: if you don't engage it, it sort of falls flat.

Your comment is crap...and shows an awful lot of ignorance. And as so often with people like you you think your opinion is the only one that counts. Thankfully your opinion doesn't count at all.
Now now children....be nice
