That's kind of like how jazz is sometimes. You're out there predicting the future, and no one believes you.
You don't know what you like, you like what you know. In order to know what you like, you have to know everything.
So much of Jazz doesn't have an audience other than music students or musicians.
Jazz is so incestuous that it's starting to kill itself.
I'm not going to play funk licks on a jazz album. That makes no sense.
It's something that jazz has gotten away from, and it's unfortunate. Players aren't physical anymore.
