And I'm not talking about all that boring old age stuff that makes you wanna drill a hole in your head I'm talking about the NEW kind of jazz with actual beats and stuff that you can stand to listen to. Sometimes I think I'm the only new age jazz fan on this site.

Jazz music just isn't appreciated by a lot of people because it doesn't have a crappy gimmick to it. Usually nice refined art forms don't get that much attention by the media, which reflects the whole worlds perspective on the music. I'm sure if it got popular by the mass media some how, like a lot of southern rap music ( and don't get me started on some artist), this its' appreaciation would grow.

.............................................................................................*shakes head* I don't mind it, but it's probably because the general run of it doesn't have the same message as most mainstream music (crying for death without getting it, we got that drink, I can;t let you have it, I know you want it....that kinda junk). Jazz is a great kind of music. Form a jazz union or something.

I'm a Jazz fan, and it also makes me wonder why some people don't like it:? I've been listening to it since I was little, since my dad was a huge Jazz fan.

because popularity is random and arbitrary, going this way and that on a whim. No one can predict it, but you must try your darndest to keep up with it. Otherwise you're not cool. :(

Jazz usually doesnt have a constant beat. It is moslty improv last I knew. But I dont know, I would take Jazz over rap anyday. But Rock is still the greatest.

Does most jazz follow the same format as in that song? As in have a base beat and add one extra thing at a time?

No not all. Thats just the style that that band does. It has no constant members because its led by a DJ named Stuart Wade. He hums his ideas into a sort of musical microphone then he chooses good players to bring them to life. Essentially he's the life of the band...and its personality too.

New Jazz is tight man!  I desperately looked for this one beat I heard on the radio, but couldn't find it anywhere.  Couldn't even find it on the share networks.

Oh well I actually think its pretty good seeing as how they're one of my fave bands...everyone has their own tastes though I guess. But I could give you some bands or artists you might like better.

No I've not heard of that person....and I posted a link to a song earlier in this thread. I can name some new age jazz artists that are pretty good in my opinion as well. Boney James Rick Braun Down To The Bone Candy Dulfer Joyce Cooling Kirk Whalum Kenny G Nelson Ranjel Steve Cole Brian Culbertson Joe McBride and the list goes on and on.

You sir, have no idea what your talking about.  There are Jazz beats many times better than what Krunk posted.  But then again, its up to your musical taste buds.

Jazz isn't as popular as those genres since it isn't anywhere near as easy to listen to. It's much more experimental and rarely follows the same structure. That stuff what you linked to isn't exactly what I would call Jazz and isn't anywhere near as popular since it's boring crap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olOYynQ-_Hw

New Age Jazz is okay... but i really like the old stuff better and also jazz rock fusion is sweet like Bill chase and Maynard Ferguson... Jazz is the best form of expression when it comes to music and todays music isnt expressive at all... todays music is actually all robotic and lame because people get paid to write music for someone else to perform and thats bull **** what happened to people like miles davis, charlie parker, john adderly, dizzy gillespie, count basie, and many more legends that tend to be forgotten... if it wasnt for their contribution to music the rap and rock genre probably wouldnt exist
