Agreed.

I don't understand how Larry Ochs isn't jazz.


Jazz purists (or, similarly, prog or other music purists) make me so angry sometimes. It's just closed-mindedness.

Because it doesn't sound like Miles Davis.
 
I wonder, is Ascension really jazz? Ken Burns, who is almost as much a purist as Wynton, didn't mention it, but then again I couldn't sit through all of a single episode of Jazz yet so maybe I just mentioned it.
 
I read somewhere that Wynton said Masada was good, but not jazz, so maybe he's not as bad as I think.

I would say it is.

Of course you would, I'm wondering what Wynton would think.

Oh, I don't know. Probably he would think it isn't though.

But it's also John Coltrane, and is it possible for people to say no to John Coltrane?
 
Borrow Ken Burns Jazz from the library, 90% of it is slow panning over photographs of the musicians while listening to part of a song, which then cuts to somebody talking about how awesome and revolutionary it is, or sometimes saying that over the music itself. I am, however, very impressed that they managed to scan those photographs into such high resolution.

You raise a good point. Someone should ask Wynton about it.

I am trying to become as avant-garde as possible, but I'm not sure I can support this. Just because you're banging on a violin doesn't make it clever...
