Why Do All Trombonists Wear Sandals?

Women, what is your problem? Why do you hate jazz? Or do you just hate men who like jazz? Or do you just hate me?

Maybe you're fishing in the wrong lake, holmes. My ex loved Alice Coltrane (John less so, go figure), my platonic ideal in Chattanooga (the monkeywrench girl with the brachiosaurus & astronaut tattoos) knows way more about jazz (and how to play it) than I will ever know. On multiple instruments. Gulp.
What kind of jazz are you playing for them? Or is this more bemoaning the taste displayed in personal ads, because yeah, total agreement there, and it's just as bad here.

Yeah, Alice Coltrane could work. I have Journey Into Satchidananda right here. Maybe I'll stop wearing so much tweed, too.

Not ALL women hate jazz. I quite like Jazz actually. I'm even listening to some Miles Davis right now in fact.

Ok, I'm taking notes here. Alice, Miles. Maybe it was the Trad that was putting them off.

"Men's magazines" have recommended Trane's album of ballads with Johnny Hartman. I've never heard them, I'm up Ascension and Live in Japan lately.

It is all the notes, I'm telling you, why so many notes, why SO many notes!!?? And you can't sing along. Where's the melody? That Coltrane guy, he doesn't know what he is playing so he just makes it up. Give me The Cure anyday - nice tunes, bumper choruses and I know the dances.(*)

(*)Or so she once said. She hated jazz.
