Maybe done before but... what do you think?

Personally I go for Tie, I know that Classical was before Jazz, and it owes a lot to Classical, but  Jazz took music to another levels that the other didn't.

A friend of mine sometime said that "Jazz is todays Classical" But, how do you see a comparision between contemporary Classic, and Modern Jazz?

I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Personally: classic. Most well-known classic composers have some music which I really like.

There must be some good jazz around, I just didn't discover it yet. I've got trouble finding it.

I learned to play some Oscar Peterson on the piano, which is really nice (from the Canadiana suite), but I listened to the record and he plays it so fast that all the delicate passages seem to get lost  . And I love Wave by Antonio Carlos Jobim, and music by the same guy and Elis Regina, but that's more like jazz samba (bossa nova).

I guess the lyrics are the sauce, and the album art, booklet etc. are the beverages ... or wine, depending on the artistic level.

I like a witty combination of the two. But if I had to choose one, it would be jazz.

Classical music. I love classical music over a wide range, from gregorian chants to contemporary composers like Sculthorpe and Takemitsu (granted, he died a few years ago), from piano sonatas to operas.

I like jazz, but mainly the smoother ballads (Holiday, Fitzgerald, Baker, Krall, Kent, Fygi). Up-tempo jazz is not my thing.

Classical is the music with the most complex arrangements, while with jazz and any other genre, a single melody or chord progression can make an entire song. That doesn't mean I like it better, though, but post-1860 classical, well, that's the sh*t if you're in the mood.
 I think that jazz and classical are related in the way that they both are best experienced live, by the way.
 Anyhow, I voted classical, because there's so much jazz that seems dull to me. And in the case of the jazz standards, any composer could've written any song. Where's the personal touch? I like modern jazz better because of that. If I had to choose between prog and classical, though, it'd be prog, since I like a way larger percentage of all the prog out there than I like of all the classical. Basically everything up to the romantic era, well, I wish I at least didn't have to be exposed to it all the time!
 I like some baroque organ works, though. And an occasional ballad of the time.
