A couple quick, possibly irrelevant points comparing classical music to Jazz:
- A much greater percentage of great jazz artists have been notoriously doped up, in which condition your intellectual capabilities to process complex thought are severely hindered.
- The progression of Classical music has been in the hands of the smartest elites in society. Jazz is derived from the various musical stylings of poor, uneducated people.
- How can something which is improvised by nature be as complex as something which is highly premeditated and worked on for a very long period of time?
