Okay, first of all, let's all lay off the Danny-bashing for a moment. He has expressed a genuine desire to understand, and I can respect that - so should you. Let's be gentle with Dan, because I know he's trying and nothing he says is doen with any malicious intent...
SO...my opinion: Jazz offers by far the most room for personal expression and requires the most dedication and study to be performed well.
I won't mention any complex techniques, cause you don't care. Jazz is complex - there's A LOT going on. You're a little off base with your suspicion that jazz musicians are conspiring against you to keep the music from you. With some attentive listening, and an open mind-set - jazz becomes very simple.
Dan, I'm not sure what it is specifically that turns you off jazz; is it the idea of improvisation? The feel? The harmony? The lifestyle?
I'll think about this a little more...this is perhaps too broad an issue for me to address directly.
