Jazz lovers: What brought you to the music?

8. Wow, cool

I experience jazz music on a visceral level also, though I am no dancer!

Your interests mesh closely with a lot of mine. Have you also enjoyed the odd meter excursions of Brubeck and others? (E.g., the tunes in 5/4, 9/8, etc. on "Time Out" and "Time Further Out.&quot I always wondered if one could dance to those unusual time signatures. It seems it should be possible, although challenging because it goes against the grain of what we're taught is "normal" -- mostly 4/4 and 3/4.
