Because the other comment wouldve completely confused me from 10 years ago let me try also phrasing it differently:

Music is fundamentally based on repetition, on top of that there are common tropes. So when a note that you (consciously or subconsciously) expect isn't being played, that has an effect. Jazz is an example of a genre that does that a lot.

That makes a lot more sense, thank you. The other post didn't really explain Lisa's meaning, but I get it now. I call the physical feeling I get when I'm pleasantly surprised and pleased with the music frisson - gives me the tingles all over. Jazz doesn't always do that for me, but there is certainly some awesome jazz out there.
