2919622, It's a bit of a dumb thing to say honestly...

The jazz that has the most sophisticated solos is FAR from always very sophisticated compostionally but has instead frequently been quite barebones in that regard. Likewise, the jazz with most harmonic sophistication has often been lacking rhythmically etc.

Also, I find sophistication an overrated aspect of music... and I LOVE Jazz.

I'd say classical is the most "sophisticated"... and look how boring that shit is...
