The public, hearing pop music, is, without knowing it, also soaking up jazz.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wasn't very aware of pop music because I attended an arts school. For me, it was all about jazz.
Jazz was the pop music of its day, and all American popular music has stemmed from it one way or another.
Jazz is like a big secret club. The mainstream media doesn't pay any attention to it; it's, like, 1 percent of the music market - no one cares. Why? Because the majority of jazz is old.
All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song.
Jazz is the art of thinking out loud.
Jazz radio is not very friendly to pop singers who decide to make a jazz record. But a lot of people have been. A lot of the people I've talked to like the record.
The beauty of jazz is that it's malleable. People are addressing it to suit their own personalities.
If you don't already know about jazz music, how would you be exposed? How would get an opportunity to find out if it spoke to you? If you get exposed to it enough, you might find a taste for it.
People want to have access to jazz because it has a vibe that's very strong.
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
