What is your favorite thing about Jazz music and your least favorite thing about it?

For me, I love the improvisational aspect. It is really fun to play Jazz guitar and it's cool to listen to guys like George Benson, Grant Green and John Scofield. I also really like good horn players like John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Karl Denson.

But I don't like the way that some Jazz songs can sound like elevator music, and feel really boring with a overloaded horn section or multi-layed keyboard sounds that ruin cool parts of the song.

What about you? What do you like or dislike about Jazz?

Update:

Thanks JC, this question is for personal knowledge and fun, I play Jazz and just wondered how others felt. It is a wonderful and challenging style to play.

Update 3:

Stan, I feel that. You are talking about the 'Bitches Brew' era. I liked that record, but I have some concerts he did after that and they do sound a bit disjointed and repetitive with lots of bongo/congo action and wild random horn and guitar riffs. Some of it works now and then.

    Yeah i agree with you. Jazz is all about the improvisation and the inspiration. I like how jazz is never formal unless it needs to be, just always with the groove. i dont like when jazz has too many things happening at a time, its better when its a solo with accompaniement. btw, is this question just for fun?

    The musicians ability to surprise / astonish and come up to my expectations.

    Dislike Davis's rock fusion period as there is too much going on, the musicians do not have enough space to highlight their talents, imo.
