Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

An old friend of mine .. string orchestra, Godin guitar and an overdrive pedal ..
And I like these guys Nu jazz ...

Avant-garde Jazz is another way of saying "unlistenable nonsense" - there are exceptions, such as Captain Beefheart. However, improvised stuff like this is twaddle. Nels Cline is a great player, but some of the god-awful "improvisations" he has done, especially with that prat from Sonic Youth who can't tune a guitar are just rubbish.
Jazz is a broad church - Bing Crosby, Les Paul, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Robert Wyatt and if you want to include bollocks like this noise, all of them are classed as 'Jazz'... as was blues at one time.
Noel is just having a laugh - he likes winding people up and saying things that get him noticed...
I'll have to take your word for that, I think.

I also find Noel Gallagher quite endearing sometimes, but frankly ALL jazz is beyond his musical intellect, not just the Emperor's New Clothes atonal nonsense.
I'd take his opinion a bit more seriously if I thought he could even chuck together a bit of convincing rockabilly/swing, but quite frankly he knows fuck all about anything really, he's just like a teenage contrarian.
"Take these three items, some WD-40, a vise grip, and a roll of duct tape. Any man worth his salt can fix almost any problem with this stuff alone." - Walt Kowalski
"Only two things are infinite - the universe, and human stupidity. And I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein
Pedantic point - the regular common old 7 chord (dominant 7th) is discordant anyway.
Don't even get me started on the flattened fifth, which Sabbath & others are full of.
Although I do agree with what Gallagher says in that clip about jazz being rubbish, I also feel the same about his band too,Oasis.
Fucking nonsense.
