Are jazz players friendlier than classical trumpeters?

[clovenhoof81]

It's just a subjective observation but it seems to me that the more classical based players are less open and seem to have little patience to a newbie. Maybe I just have not hung around long enough. I have an interest in both jazz and classical. In opinion, they are very different in form, style, and performance.

I would put it this way, in my experience. Most are friendly, just (generalization) different.

I find the Classical people a little more, for want of a better word, "affected", more "serious", while Jazzers, at first, maybe a little more cocky. Big generalizations, because people are individual.

The one constant I'll say about all of them is, you'd better be sincere. Classical or Jazzers can smell a phony a mile away and can be pretty condescending l if that's the case.

My experience, it depends more on where they are from and their personality than what type of music they play.
