There IS no "first place" -- fortunately! Classical music shows how adherence to certain criteria can rosonate in the human soul: to be able to appreciate Classical music is a "tool" -- aparticular skill. Jazz is the other way around, usually: jass is driven by the human soul rather than the reverse. The ability to appreciate jazz reflects a philosophic approach to the yearnings of man. Some Classical movement "slips" into the role of jazz more easily: Debussy's "Clair de Lune" is NOT so much a Classical form of music resonating with some human angst (or maybe nostalgia) - instead it is music written in the throes of those human emotions. It doesn't picture moonlight -- it almost IS moonlight. Similarly, jazz -- even "ragtime" -- is dictated by the human spirit and gives only a brief nod in the direction of rules of form. The two are diametrically opposed, and both serve us well in their appointed role.

That's a hard one...probably jazz. I can do more with it in the background. I mostly use classical music when I'm trying to think.

Well, it's all a personal choice isn't it ? We don' have to put any type of music over another. It depends on my mood as to what I listen to at any particular time. Blues, Classical, Jazz, etc., in my mind are equal to each other although I do have favourite pieces for each genre.

George...someone has put a picture of the guy from THE HILLS HAVE EYES for your icon.
Oh Classical before JAZZ
But for me it would be the dentist before jazz as well, I just don't get it.
Jazz to me is a group of people randomly banging & blowing there instruments it doesnt even have a tune.

Classical is FIRST, without classical there would be no Jazz.

Jazz. The traditional kind. New Orleans or Chicago, pre 1960

Jazz because it is the base for all of the music we have today.

I prefer classical, jazz has no appeal to me.
