So basically where do I get started with jazz? This probably will piss 90% of you off but after seeing Whiplash I really liked what I heard and it has pushed me to finally get into such an intimidating genre.

When I get into a genre I generally and autistically have to start with its origins and work my way up but with jazz there's such a huge history and different sub-genres that I don't feel that would be optimal.

Any advice? Perhaps even what style of jazz was the one that was played in the movie?

Pls no bully ;________;

Bump from someone who isn't op but is as much of a jazz pleb as he is. I listen to the local jazz station now but I have no idea beyond that

Don't worry dude, just start with some Kenny G; any of his albums from the 80's will do it.

Whiplash isn't a very good representation of what Jazz sounds like.

Try some Mingus

Sorry everyone is being a dick OP. I haven't seen the movie yet but I'd say start with Miles Davis - kind of blue. Highly acclaimed album and a very easily enjoyable album even for those inexperienced in jazz. If you like that, try looking for more bebop, hard bop, and post bop styles of jazz
