(slang) A jazz music enthusiast.
Slang for a devoted jazz music enthusiast -- someone whose engagement with jazz goes well beyond casual listening into deep fandom, record collecting, or active scene participation. The '-head' suffix signals intense devotion in the same way as 'deadhead' (Grateful Dead fan) or 'metalhead'. A jazzhead typically has strong opinions about artists, eras, and substyles and is never reluctant to share them.
(slang) A fan of the American boy band New Kids on the Block.
(slang) A fan of the English rock band Led Zeppelin.
A jazzhead is someone who is deeply, enthusiastically into jazz music — the kind of person who owns hundreds of vinyl records, can trace the lineage from bebop to free jazz, and has strong opinions about Miles Davis's various eras. The term is affectionate and slightly self-aware, worn as a badge of identity by fans who love a genre that sometimes feels like it's their own secret world. Think record store corners and late-night club sessions.
