I would be more comfortable at a jazz club as an audience member because I feel more “free” in this environment and can also connect with other people or even the performers. Also, it is much more enjoyable when everyone in the audience cheers or claps for the performers. By cheering or clapping for the performers, you can see how happy they are and how this builds such a fun moment. On the other hand, I would be least comfortable in a symphony orchestra concert because I just can’t stand sitting for hours in silence and how you are expected to dress in some form of professional attire rather than your normal outfit you enjoy wearing on a daily basis. Also, there is no video recordings or just any use of devices in this type of concert which I find annoying but understandable. I enjoy taking pictures or record certain moments in a concert which seems to be allowed in the jazz concert.
In a jazz concert, I expect to see some common instruments being played, such as a guitar, drums or a microphone for the singer(if there is one). As for the setting, I expect to see a more colorful background on stage such as a few lighting effect and possibly banners. Also, as a listener, sometimes I would stay silent if there is a calming song being played but if there is a more upbeat song then I might clap along or talk with a friend, sharing opinions. I like to keep things simple and a jazz club fits perfectly; just listen to the performers’ music while having a fun time whether you want to talk or eat/drink like some sort of hangout spot. However, I have no experience of being at any of these concerts so this is just how I see jazz club as in my eyes.


I agree that a jazz concert is more enjoyable. Personally I like it because I am able to move around and won’t be stuck to y seat. I forgot to consider the fact that concerts are more fun when the audience gets to cheer, reminding you others are enjoying it with you.
