that assumes that the ability to analyze intellectually and the visceral experience are mutually exclusive. *****
Once again, we are into straw men. They are not mutually exclusive, but they are certainly not the same thing. In listening to, and enjoying a Jazz performance, the visceral trumps any 'intellectual' considerations.
In fact, I don't understand why 'intellectual' has any place in the playing or appreciation of Jazz. Or any other genre for that matter.
That intellectual stuff is for the noise-makers in the school house.
