Here's another story about my life from the ol kitchen table

I would have said it was because Jazz has the fewest consistencies musically for teaching therefore a wider array of learning, which could also be said of metal in many ways but for cultural views that would be vastly different, mostly because metal gained popularity as a change from the status quo and NY that stage jazz was well within the norms of society (though well in decline in the 70s).

Ultimately, Jazz is just a musical genre. So I never understood why it's always jazz when you want to really learn music professionally. Whenever there is a jazz concert going on in my city, the city marketing goes crazy promoting the "cultural happening", there's news paper articles talking about the jazz summer event, we have a jazz institute and a very elitist jazz club in the city.I took guitar lessons, the teacher knew I'm a country/ metal guy, and we went straight to jazz in the lessons. But why? It's just a genre, why is it always treated like a magical degree from Hogwarts? It's sometimes treated like it is the only real cultural thing.
