Jazz gives you 30 seconds of “I get it” followed immediately by where is this song going and why am I being chased?
I think folks are just listening to the wrong jazz!
Here's a few modern jazz or jazz fusion song recommendations from me worth checking out:
'Ramen! Yes!', 'XYZ', and 'Balloon Pop' by Hiromi's Sonicwonder (also credited separately as Hiromi and Sonicwonder)
'Desire', 'Knowledge', 'Prologue', and 'Fists of Fury' by Kamasi Washington
and it's bossa nova which I guess is technically samba not jazz, but I say close enough to still recommend 'I Took the L' by John Roseboro
Bonus recommendation if you're open to heavy music (this is death metal jazz fusion!):
'Eb (D#)', 'IQ69Exaltations,' and 'deBroglieNeverExisted' by ByoNoiseGenerator
Nice one, though I prefer Philly Joe or Kenny Clark, but they're from a different era.
All yall need some Hiromi in your lives. Also some Snarky Puppy
7 1/2 minutes into that Snarky Puppy, all are one in the celebration of the groove. Brilliant!
Listening to some Medeski, Martin, Wood right now
Putting their "Out Loader" into my queue for tonight. Great idea.

Every genera has a really really great few moments but those are only temporary and you are left only with a yearning for more and depression.
