Having listened to dozens of albums on Youtube, I've found that
80% of jazz: random, nearly unlistenable crap. Four guys in a room playing whatever they want, regardless of what the other guys are playing, regardless of there being anyone else listening in. Every note is interchangeable and one part could be any other part. Lots of annoying atonal horns. No dynamics. No hooks.
10% of jazz: Peaceful background music
10% of jazz: Thoughtfully constructed, emotionally interpreted soul/dance music. Not as good as any classic Stevie Wonder record. But still pretty decent
