  Hi everyone,I have been a Jazz listener for quite a while, although I am not a musician nor I have a strong music theory background (can't identify chords or keys  by  ear, for example...) Since I don't know  personally any other jazz enthusiasts, the only contact I have with other jazz fanatics is through the Internet. But lately it came to my attention that almost all jazz discussions (particularly on Youtube) are about the technicalities of a particular song ("look how he goes from Eflat to E to the power 3 flat..."). I understand that this is just a language, and perhaps the most convenient language to talk about these various musical ideas. But I it makes  a little bit insecure and afraid that it is not only the appropriate vocabulary to talk about music  that I am lacking, but that I also don't have the right "tools" to appreciate it. That I am listening in the wrong way. I pretty sure that this is a very silly way of thinking but, nonetheless, I would like to hear your opinion on this and a little bit of assurance/comfort from you guys.Perdido

  Hi!Sorry for my delayed reply. In the following link you will find the exact phrase that I was talking about (which, on the full version,  starts at 49min and not 59 as I previously said. Sorry for that.)https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KESV1KSDTkzVyLt428lLypbwXHb7P9u6/view?usp=sharing
