This Gen Needs More Jazz! (Poll Option Available)

I'm in a relatively good mood today (rare!), lets talk Jazz! With all the Choirs, Rock, Orchestras, and even Ambience being a popular usage for the gaming medium, it's come to mind that Jazz is in the minority. (At least in my collection) So today's curiosity of course is what is everyone's thoughts on the matter? Should we have some more Jazz in gaming? (Naturally, Jazz for games that it would fit perfectly in. I wouldn't want Jazz in a tense Heavy Rain brawl, right? No wait, that might actually work! lol)

what we really need is custom in game soundtracks! everyone gets what they want :)

In a game like Bayonetta jazz does/would work. I think jazz needs to fit the personality of the game. You can throw in rock/pop/etc. in many types of games and get away with it. Jazz not so much. I have no problems with jazz, so sure, let's see some jazz!

Sure, if it fits the game.

Jazz can make ANYTHING sound good. It's a shame it's an obscure music type for many people to like.

It's really annoying when certain devs (MediaMolicole) only allow custom music in a certain part of the game, sure the offical soundtrack is amazing but it gets OLD after a while.

ive been trying to get into jazz but just dont know who to listen to.. any suggestions?slyr114

Maybe I'll put on Kind of Blue or A Love Supreme while I'm playing GoW3 this week. You've given me a great idea!

Ratchet and Clank has a radio station kind of dedicated to Jazz.

I agree though.

yeah we do...i like some jazz but not all

From what I hear, there's smooth jazz in Portal 2. GLaDOS is using it to punish you :?

The Saboteur has some decent Jazz/Blues tracks.

^^Oh lord. I am not sure what to say to that one.GrandJury

I'm a huge fan of Jazz fusion personally, I've only recently (last year or so) go into it but I'm loving it.
