Jazz is not an Obscurity

Some people say that jazz is a very difficult music to listen to in Japan. However, I believe that it is not such a difficult music to listen to. First, some people say ”jazz is difficult, you can’t listen to it easily,” which causes many other people to think the same way. Second, people say jazz has a difficult theory. If you want to be a jazz musician, you should express this theory and remember it always. In my opinion, you should just enjoy listening to it; you don’t need to understand its theory. Third you can’t go listen to live jazz because it is too expensive in Japan. Although many famaous artist’s performances are expensive, local musician’s tickets are cheap. So you should go listen to them play. The best way to enjoy music is listening and seeing a live perfomance. In conclusion, even though there are many confusing things about jazz out there, you should just experience and find a great spot for yourself. That’s all thank you
