smooth jazz

[happiness82]

listening to smooth jazz really helps with anxiety guys...in case you didnt know already.

just opened up youtube and typed in smooth jazz and got a 3 hour long set of smooth jazz

:)

[Dahila]

Hi welcome to forum and I am going to do this now. I love jazz and Classical music, blues, reggae :) i am listening it now, Do you know that second part was released too?

[happiness82]

Hi Dahlia,

Thank you for the welcome.

Not quite sure what you mean by second part?

[Dahila]

I will try to link you to it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnD76ZLWEz8&feature=youtu.be or this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T3dlpi-Cws
the rhythm is making me happy, I can hear the latinos influences and the beat ,,,,,,,,,,pure Santana

[happiness82]

nice..yea prefer the second link as its a little more peppy

[Kirk]

I also enjoy music, but I like oldies, classic rock and disco.

[Dahila]

I enjoy all music as long as I like it, I am the classic rock to , but jazz always was my favorite, I love different things :) Happiness I am glad you like it:)

[happiness82]

classic rock & 80s is great too Kirk

[Ponder]

late 60s, 70s & 80s with only a few 90s - other than that - I'm with Dahila in NOT locking myself into any one genre/culture. Other than the era I grew up in - I love many classical tunes and new age ambiance without the Techno/Dance which is about the only thing I pass off into the trash + I'll also dump on varioius forms of thrash and head banging music. Not into lyrics at all - Very rare occasion. Music for me is much better without the Story. Stories I much prefer in books.

[Ponder]

I actually got to say that I too have been using a few old tunes of late to keep motivated and it's helping to some degree. Might throw a few tunes on now actually. :)

Listening to smooth jazz doesn't calm me and make me happy because I don't like jazz music.

However, I find listening to certain soft rock songs to be therapeutic for me because I like that kind of music.

[Dahila]

Mainer you will eventually grow up to like jazz

[Kirk]

I like classic rock, oldies and disco.

[MainerMikeBrown]

I like rap music and dance music.

But it's hard to relax to that kind of music.

[Zena]

I think jazz is quite alright. I really love the fusion of jazz and hip hop.

[MainerMikeBrown]

Dahila, I don't think I'll come to like smooth jazz, because if I were to come to like it, I would have by now already.

[DizzyPixie]

I don't like jazz either. I don't know if I'll ever like it, I find it boring. There seems to be something in it that I can't get. I like some jazz elements in some songs, and that's all. Recently I read On The Road by Jack Kerouac and it was such an amazing book, and the main characters are all crazy about jazz (and crazy in general) and I love them, so that made me question if I'm preoccupied and I should try to understand it better.

I like rock, punk and hip hop music. I like songs with a sense of psychedelia in them. I also love folk music, medieval, ambient... I hate opera and I like very few classical pieces in general.

If you type "music for anxiety" on youtube it will show you some music with "alpha", "beta", "theta" etc frequencies, they are frequencies of the signals of the brain, I don't know how they incorporate them into music, but these songs calm me down very much. Maybe it's not about the "frequencies", the songs are great for meditation, yoga etc.

[Kirk]

If I ever tell people I like disco music they sometimes grimace.

[salvator here]

I guess I'm a bit weird (well.. more than a bit lol)

I used to be a hard core country music fan, but that was back when country was really country, now its turned into something call "Bro Country" and it pure garbage and I've not even listened to it since I can hardly remember. Its a hick fest!

Now, I mostly listen to pop music (some R&B - some hip hop - yes even some cheesy bubble gum pop *blush*) even though that artists are a million years younger than myself and I could be their parent.

I guess I have a hard time putting a label on just what I enjoy these days because its mostly about that quality of the singing and music rather than a specific genre.

Not sure why, but I've always thought of smooth jazz as "Elevator Music", but maybe one day I'll give it another chance!

[salvator here]

If I ever tell people I like disco music they sometimes grimace.Oh I like disco music as well. I was lucky to get to see Donna Summer in concert before she passed away and she was amazing!!

[Kirk]

Seeing Donna Summer in person must have been a real treat.

[salvator here]

It was! I think it was around 1997 or 98 (can't quite recall) and it was not even planned. I was at a casino and there she was by pure chance and I'm so happy I got to see her before she passed.

[Kirk]

She was also a very attractive woman at one point.

I used to volunteer at a little radio station that often played jazz music.

[IAmCamille]

I love soft jazz, especially when you are dead tired and stressed. It's just so relaxing.
