No words

Just couldn't feel the music.

I get why this album is considered good, but I really dislike big band and find it extremely boring.

I tried to listen to this bearing in mind that I don’t really like jazz and that it was from the 1950s. But, even with that in mind I don’t think this was particularly impressive or progressive

Wtf was that.

This was not an easy listen. The rock n’roll counter culture of the 60’s has never made so much sense when forced to sit through this. For me it just doesn’t resonate. I think the biggest obstacle is that I don’t understand what the music is trying to make me feel. Each number is indistinguishable from the other in terms of quality. This just ain’t it.

Sounds dangerous; No thanks.

Not my stuff

Big band music not realty me

Bored.

Good God no. I hate Jazz.

I just couldn’t really get into this one.

Instrumental jazz, probably the worst combo I can think of.

Not good

This wasn’t for me. If you’re into big band I’m sure this is a masterpiece but it took a lot to finish this past track 4.

My parents perhaps. Definitely not me. Hated the bass section

1950s not really my bag

Can see how people liked this in the 50's but not great by modern music standards. Lots of the songs very repetitive. Don't think I'll be listening again.

This is extremely not my shit, swing sucks

I can see why people like this and why the album is important but I really cant get into Jazz at all. This is very much posh resturant music for me. Favourite song: Least favourite: Album artwork: I love the cover

1.5 Not for me though it was more tolerable than the Charles Mingus album.

Jazz again :(

Yeah, no

Pleasant but uninspiring. Not crap enough for a 1, but not good enough for a 2. I'll see how I feel in the morning.

Jazz is shit.

I have not heard of this album before. I don’t listen to jazz so it was quite boring, didn’t notice when a song changed. Great as background music but I don’t think I will listen again.

Ol timey hoo-hah. Give every instrument a sassy air and slap a mute on it -- now that's music!

No thanks

Not for me (couldn't listen to more than a couple of songs).

Swing makes my brain itch. Not for me.

I feel bad but this did not hit for me at all. Not even a little bit. Did my best to try to stir up some appreciation for the musicianship but it was just a dull, dull record released at a time when everything you could do in the genre of Swing had already been done. Love to see the NJ representation from the artist, but can’t get even a little bit into any of this record.

Maybe I don’t like jazz. I’ve realised I much prefer listening to songs with lyrics or it gets boring for me, like I’m just listening to a backing track.

boring even for a instrumental

Jag vägrar

Swing aint my thing

Did not like it at all too many weird ass tunes

Tom & Jerry music

Tavanomaisen taitavaa. Vakuuttaa, että kävelevä basso on jazzin perimmäisen ärsyttävyyden taustalla.

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: No, could tolerate it at barely Audio level in a restaurant or something, not my cup of tea Favourite song: didn’t have one

No one was offended. Glad to know it exists. If I have a posh sophisticated dinner party it can be part of the background music. Cover art. Odd choice. Still living with the direct aftermath of WW2 in 1958.

P1 intro, ukeslutt elns? Fekk litt vintage bar følelse som forhøyna dagens dusj Slitsomt. Eg trur eg kunne levd lykkelig uten å ha høyrt ditta albumet.

Fallout music with no lyrics

hvaða fucking rugl er þetta ég er ekki 95 ára gamall, hvers vegna í andskotanum er þetta á þessum lista, djöfull er þetta boring shit, 1 stjarna fuckit

C'est du jazz, chiant

Not a massive fan of Jazz

Got 2 tracks in and thats a no from me fam.

No jazz

Boring ass album. Never going back to it.

I know this is a critically acclaimed big band jazz album but man this music just doesn’t land with me. I couldn’t listen to it straight through without hitting next before a song was done. Maybe it’s great live and in its era. The song Double-O was kinda fun I guess?

No acostumbro a escuchar este tipo de música pero me ha gustado mucho la canción "the kid from red bank". Eso sí no volvería a escuchar el disco de seguido.

Chock full of swing music! Every track seems to meld together and none of them stuck out to me. Very nice background music.

Jazz, I won’t listen again.

Some of the jazzy bits were ok but then the horns and everything came back in. I hate all the big band stuff

pitos orquesta

Not my cup of tea really. Maybe the setting but did not really enjoy.

It makes me want to sip whiskey from a highball in a dark club, smoking cigarettes and being chill, None of which I would do in real life.

Qq T and the rest are the ones that are the best in my book so far so I can get the most from it but the rest are not iooiiuiiiu👨‍❤️‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩👩‍❤️‍👩
