i feel like i should learn to appreciate jazz, if i am going to be well rounded and all. thing is, i don't know how or where to start.

i've listened to alan holdsworth, jean luc ponty, dave brubeck. i consider sonny boy williamson blues, not jazz.

but someone like miles davis....i don't know how to appreciate it, i want to hear what makes him so important, but i dont' know what i'm listening to/for. can you not start with that? do you have to hear and know the stuff before him to get what he did?

any tips on what direction to go?
