Sup guys, Ive been playing in a successful junior jazz band in high school and while I got into a different field in uni, I know quite a few young guys who got into music school and are studying jazz etc. Im not gonna post their pictures but I can tell so much, they wear simple casual formal wear mostly. The thing is, the really good musicians don't give too much of a shit about their clothing, they just care about their music too much. The formal thing comes from having to wear a somewhat formal attire at gigs.
For specifics:
No sportswear
shirts are good, mostly black/grey/dark, but white is ok as well
dark blue or black jeans
general earth tones
for shoes, simple sneakers, black or white, or warm colors
grandma knitwear / simple dark cardigans etc
if you look to well put together, you will come across as pretencious and not about the music

Complicated and abstract drumming. Soothing and slow for alto and alto parts for bari (I hate getting low brass parts).

I think with a lot of things, not just jazz, people tend to be pulled in by the contemporary forms, and selectively like some of the more classic forms. Eventually, they graduate into being more selective about the contemporary they like, and more appreciative of the classics they once overlooked.

I recommend works by paul desmond. Very chill to listen to when studying or general background music. "Paul Desmond - Here's to that Rainy Day". I used to play the trumpet. Regret dropping it.

Further commodifying an already academicized and appropriated music such as jazz for your personal gain is fucked up and so fake. Wanting people to know you like jazz is the most tryhard thing ever and the fact a lot of you are hardly listening to anything beyond YouTube recommendations with no capacity for true appreciation of this music is sickening. Fuck off and stay away from music that's already had its identity altered by white people and become white enough.

Sounds like Mingus's "Dilettantes of Style" rant.

To quote:

“You don’t want to see your ugly selves,” he told one audience. “So you come to me, you sit in the front row, as noisy as can be. I listen to your millions of conversations, sometimes pulling them all up and putting them together and writing a symphony. But you never hear that symphony…. You’re here because jazz has publicity, jazz is popular, the word jazz, and you like to associate yourself with this sort of thing. But it doesn’t make you a connoisseur of the art because you follow it around. You’re dilettantes of style.”

[Anonymous No.12649786]

I think a lot of you guys are overly hostile to the idea of looking the part.

Before this decade, fashion was considered an integral part of subculture, and looking the part was not important necessarily in its own right but rather served as a way to both express the aesthetic and mentality of that subculture and thereby attain authenticity to one's self and their public image, and signal to other members of the community their common interest and thus promote opportunities for socialization and kinship.

Of course there have always been poseurs and there will always be poseurs, but communities never base identity off looks alone, and have ways of ascertaining for themselves who is truly "with it" and who is not as soon as the connection has been made and the mouths start yapping.

I think it's more pretentious to be hostile to the complementary aspects of a subculture than to not be.

>wanting to dress like a literal stereotype..

Then I see ppl in here getting upset saying how "this is for you and it doesn't matter what ppl think!" "Why would I pretend!?"

I like many kinds of music jazz and golden oldies and swing being one of them yet I keep my fashion separate from my music, because you're fashion shouldn't revolve entirely around what you listen to because you'll end up becoming a stereotype and seem very 1 dimensional which most ppl don't want to be or seem

And not only that you shouldn't restrict yourself to only ONE style
Personally I really enjoy milspo/lunarcore/sandcore/streetwear/americana etc
And switch it up every once in a while so I don't get bored,

if you want ppl to know you like jazz go to a fucking jazz club or jazz cafe and talk to ppl about artists you really like

Just like if you're into cars go to a fucking car meet and car club etc.

Don't make yourself dress up because you want ppl to know you like certain things that's what ppl like goth/emos do all thr time and it's very obvious and they're usually all the same because they think in a hive mind mentality and dress accordingly

For your consideration, fedoras, porkpies, and trilby hats, as well as their straw equivalents, could look jazz if worn with nice enough clothes, but /fa/ seems to frown upon very traditional headwear on a regular basis. I would suggest that if you look like you know how to handle it properly, it's fine, yet it represents a personal, yet very apparent characteristic in public, if you are willing to take it up. These hats are mostly representative of jazz music's early stages, and not as much of the contemporary scenes, despite somewhat of a resurgence within recent years.
