I'm amazed at how an art form like jazz has been reduced to bgm (background music) at cocktail parties and hotel lounges/bars.
I've been told often by agents/managers in the past several years, "We are interested in you being seen and not really heard. We don't want your jazz fans coming here to listen to you. They don't drink enough and stay too long. We want a quick turnover in the seats."
And some "posers" or non-players have the "balls" to say that improvised music is dead? Ha ha the language hasn't died, only some of the speakers of the language have lost their way.
We create our culture or we let our culture be created for us.
If you dare to find out more about the culture creators, read this one....^_-
