For me, it sounds pretty aggressive, and I think that art should be the least agressive of all forms of expression. That could be "great about art". It's not "being interested in jazz", it's just the way you live. Everyone breathes some air, everyone listens to some sounds. For some people, it's jazz. It's part of the way they live.
