Jazz has patterns and repetition, like any interesting music genre. If it didn’t, it’d be called noise. They just aren’t as in your face and predictable as the ones employed by pop genres.

Jazz is my favorite genre to play- this thinking sill applies but it’s a lot more abstract- even if there is heavy improv as is the style, it’s still musical patters over repeating chord changes. Couple that with the subversion of expectation thing I mentioned elsewhere in this thread and it’s a winning formula if I’ve ever heard one.

That’s why I like comedy and soulslikes. The subversion of expectations 😃
