Like classical music, most people do tend to consider this kind of music is too heavy, abstract, and difficult to digestible. In addition, jazz music often stereotyped as the elite, despite the fact that among the elite itself, is actually a fan of jazz music lovers or still are minorities. Even among young people today have common notion that jazz is? musical parents boring and makes you sleepy?. The emergence of jazz this disadvantage stem from a dominant understanding that the primary function of music is to entertainment and give satisfaction to the audience, with the aim make a profit. If at first the music is pure expression of human feelings into products then now is the music industry recording and commodities trading. Capitalism music industry has also been shift the old music that shows the cultural identity each ethnic / nation in the world, and instead appeared new type of music that transcends differences and shed existing cultural. Indeed not a few pop compositions are standardized forms or reproduction of the trends for a moment, and this phenomenon tends to take place globally.

In this respect noteworthy that jazz development can be categorized as an example of music tradition, where music is very representative of expression and culture community blacks in the United States. As the music that represents a discriminated communities, the development of this kind of music too will experience more or less the same fate. Jazz has even become popular music, with its swing rhythms suitable for dancing, and at the same time jazz began to spread to other parts of the world such as Europe or Asia.

In this period, the more it appears that jazz music is always contradictory with popular music (rock and pop), where if someone become a fan of one type of music will usually reject the other. What is less known is that both kinds of music has any connection to each other influence each other. Is not jazz and rock grew from the same root, namely the blues? Probably not many people know that these songs have been * The Beatles * performed by many jazz musicians as a standard track. Or that * Sting *, frontman of New Wave era of the 80s, * The Police *, is also a skilled jazz musician. As a result of interaction between jazz and music entertainment has spawned a variety of proven new synthesis nuances that enrich both the jazz and rock. For pop musicians or adopting elements of jazz rock that will give them a value more because it will thus be of higher quality, while contrary to the jazz musicians, by adopting elements of music popular will cause them more work has selling power.

From a very brief historical illustration of this can presumably be obtained a sense that jazz is not merely  a kind of serious musicand boring. It seems more accurate to say that jazz is a process back and forth between the traditions of art music / classical elitist with music entertainment which represents the aspirations of the audience more broadly. From this process the tug then come a lot of variants or flow in a more enriched jazz music treasures this. Indeed, jazz offers the diversity and musical explorations that unfortunately if ignored, especially for the younger generation who usually at least have a keen sense know.
