Don't criticize it unless you can carve it. Instead of posting idiotic comments, get your chops together.<br /><br />NigelNigelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694480735393172006.post-24473436130012328912012-06-30T17:46:50.714-05:002012-06-30T17:46:50.714-05:00It was a blues bar before which occasionally booke...It was a blues bar before which occasionally booked one of Stan Kessler's groups.

There are, though, hungry, young, original jazz musicians playing in this town who are trying to change that bullshit status quo.<br /><br />It seems to me like people think it's somehow fashionable to regurgitate that tired opinion above, without peeking their head out to hear otherwise. There is jazz out there that would satisfy people, but by claiming otherwise you sound sooooo hip.<br /><br />"I'm in the know, I have good taste, and I like music played from the heart, not the brain." No shit, everyone does...but the best music is both. Get a grip and stop perpetuating a stereotype that is KEEPING you from hearing what you might be looking for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-694480735393172006.post-21491961643188958722012-06-29T17:02:01.258-05:002012-06-29T17:02:01.258-05:00People would always rather hear a crappy version o...People would always rather hear a crappy version of a Sublime song than watch a bunch of guys try and look really serious while playing "All the Things You Are" for way too long.captainunderpantsnoreply@blogger.com
