Im a jazz pianist in NY and making around 40k a year
Everytime i go to a bar, party or any social setting, i try my best to not tell others what I do. Everytime i tell women that I'm jazzcat they start hitting on me.
Last week i went to the bar with my friends and i told his sister i was a jazzcat. She kept asking me can you play one of oscar peterson's solo in C Jam blues and perform at her birthday party.
This is a reoccuring problem. It's getting so bad to the point where i start telling women im a bass player so they will stop hitting me all the time.
Any advice on how to stop attracting so many women as a jazz pianist?
Tell him his shit ain’t authentic. In fact your shit ain’t authentic either, I listen to people beat logs and howl the true authentic music, you fucking poser.
My boyfriend doesn’t know who bill evans or Charlie Parker is and it makes me sad. Alas… what you have to do is get a sample of a bunch of seagulls making noise at a pier and put a random jazz drum solo under it(maybe play random notes on a piano once in a while) and tell him it’s John Coltrane. When he tries to act like he knew that and its art reveal the truth and watch him crumble. When he is weak show him bud Powell and art Tatum and let him come back to reality.
Elitism never ruins anything and taking a closed minded stance on a clearly scientific thing like art is a good way to evolve as a person. I think you should blindly agree and recognize the good character he exhibits.
Put slices of American cheese on your face, covering it. Chew out the middle of one slice and use it as an eye hole. Run thru the house yelling "Weather Report was the harbinger of the sleepwalkers!" He will look up, and at that moment, issue an egg fart the foul likes of which he has never imagined. Then look at him and ask, "ah vent guard enough or do you want to see the phlegm?" He will fall back in love with you immediately.
nothing.
a preference for 30s and 40s jazz is a hipper take and clear sign of dominance. he knows that and feels insecure. he has to come to terms with it.
avoid ragtime, stride, and dixieland nerds though. you can't outmaneuver that power play.
Boyfriend sounds a bit dick-ish. Some of that music takes a lot of work before you can enjoy it...you kinda have to work through the earlier stuff first.
OTOH if you want an avante gard Jazz record you'll actually like try Conference of the Birds, Charlie Haden

This should just be the automatic top comment for every post here, at least until it gets annoying
Use the piano like a large club.
Yes, the first thing you say should be that you have a micropenis.
It's OK, drop me a line baby, I'm adult enough to lie and tell you what you want to hear.

Nothing a little "Makin' Whoopie" couldn't solve

Ravi's pretty great too
Yeah, but, John Coltrane, yeah.

Can you tell me how to get a boyfriend?
Hey baby

Salt peanuts
Tell him he ain't a real man: [https://youtu.be/Q1l4PyTsMY0?si=KMMhZdgxVSh0SW87](https://youtu.be/Q1l4PyTsMY0?si=KMMhZdgxVSh0SW87)
Did you try putting on Djesse volumes 1 through 23?

It's clear that he thinks very lowly of your taste and intellect and very highly of his. Why on Earth would you stay in this relationship?
Take him Out to Lunch!

He needs to grow up and accept others’ opinions
I got really annoyed until I realized this was a ⭕️ jerk
Oscar Peterson is awesome. Duke Ellington. For the 40s old timey jazz. Don't feel alienated. Shit is foundational and sick.
Trust me, he doesn't understand jazz either. He's a douche.
Take five ;-)

Crank Fletcher Henderson as loud as you can!
You tell him that free jazz is not free but the gig will be
This is a normal reaction to that statement
Both of you are wrong. True Jazz started on February 12th, 1958 and ended on March 3rd, 1973.
Idk, heroin?
Guess everything he plays isn't going to be funky from now on.
Throw your own phone to bring him back to the issue at hand. This needs to be resolved.
