It's sort of what jazz would be if it stopped being snobby and what rock would be if it stopped being stupid.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Everybody's not going to like jazz, let's just be honest about it. Everybody doesn't like everything. There's a disconnect in generations and some people just aren't going to feel that music.
I used to be a jazz snob, believe it or not. I sort of turned my nose up at anything more commercial.
Jazz is like wine. When it is new, it is only for the experts, but when it gets older, everybody wants it.
We learned pretty early on in this band that you can't have snobbery in music.
I feel like certain people think that certain styles of music will taint their jazz style.
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.
Jazz can be a blank canvas full of possibilities.
The beauty of jazz is that it's malleable. People are addressing it to suit their own personalities.
Just figure out what you think jazz is, and then if it fits into that category, it's jazz, and if it doesn't, it isn't. It's no big deal.
