Oh dear, I have to say that jazz is not a genre I enjoy. I can take a bit of trad jazz but the modern stuff doesn't do it for me.
Although I suspect Jazz incorporates different things in different countries. When I lived in France, the french seemed crazy about jazz and I went to a local festival. There was very little what I would call jazz (in the British sense of it), it seemed a far more ecclectic collection of styles all loosely clumped together under a jazz banner, ranging from Edith Piaf (if you can believe that) to quite modern almost-rock.
