Txted Rant

I hate jazz piano. I don't know if it's the smoothness or over-subtlety. Or maybe it's the predictability of the innovation. Right here we'll have a falling sequence, chord, chord, walking build up to a dramatic chord teaser, fall back down into the smooth haze created by the pedal. And it doesn't have a melody or a theme. Too freeform for me. I appreciate classical piano much more. At least it can inspire pop music intricacies and hooks, bring out the best in ballads and dramatic compositions that would otherwise be standard 4/4 C Major fluff. Jazz piano inspires me to fall asleep.
