Jazz?  Is that the one where several kinds of 'musicians', all play different tunes, in different keys, all at the same time?

Yes and occasionally the lead singer shouts "Skidiliboo waa waa".

That;'s the one. Well free jazz, at least, which bears about as much semblance to music as most modern art does to art..

Jazz requires the understanding and processing of complex patterns. It also requires an ability to anticipate what the other musicians are playing, and to accompany or respond in a compatible manner. I never liked jazz because I was not good with spatial processing, i.e my limited ability to conceptualize shapes and patterns in my head, also meant that I could not easily understand the patterns and concepts playing out. Jazz is something one either gets or doesn't get, and for those who don't always get like me, it can be an uncomfortable aural assault.

You know, this is jazz, and the drummer here is in a parallel but connected universe.

 

and so is this famous Kenny G tune.
