Is jazz the most boring music out there?

Hi I just wanted to know if there are any GOOD jazz songs out there? I don't like jazz at all, but I wanted to know if there is anyone out there who could change my mind?? Leave me a list of songs, please.|||I will not be as harsh as some of the other answers. I can understand that since you are young and Jazz is not on the radio very much and some ,like any music,can be boring for you. So I will advise specific Jazz that have stood the passage of time ;


Watermelonman Herbie Hancock


Take Five Dave Brubeck


Song For My Father Horace Silver


Mercy,Mercy Mercy Julian Cannonball Adderley


Take The A Train Duke Ellington


On Broadway Tito Puente


Take Five Tito Puente


Sing,Sing Sing Benny Goodman


Sermonnete Lambert, Hendricks and Ross (vocals)


All Blues Miles Davis Try those on your ears and maybe you will like Jazz a little better.


Grazin' In The Grass Hugh Masakella


Blues In Hoss'Flat Count Basie


Mack The Knife Louis Armstrong


Goldfinger Dave Douglass


Ella Fitzgerald The SongBooks


Here's That Rainy Day Freddie Hubbard


Sugar Stanley Turrentine


Little Sunflower Milt Jackson


Maiden Voyage Herbie Hancock


All The Things You Are Art Tatum Ben Webster


Moanion' Art Blakey


Tom Cat Lee Morgan|||Thanks for choosing my answer. Hope you listen and explore the many styles of Jazz available and when someone like your boss insists you listen to music forced on you I see why you have a problem with Jazz. Shame on that boss of yours.Get another job if you can.

This is probably my favorite artist and song:

  1. go check out some modern sounding stuff like song from Wayne Shorter, Allan Holdsworth, Kurt Rozenwinkle, and Pat Metheny. It may take you a while to find some of Pat Metheny's modern stuff because a lot of his stuff is really smooth jazzy.
