I think you're referring to someone trying to equate "soul" in mathematical terms.******
It's more like a certain segment trying to make / remake jazz in their own image. Most of these people study 'Jazz theory' in school, and what they are taught becomes the definition of Jazz.
In school they learn how to improvise the 'correct' way. Sort of like learning the rules on how to be creative. Read a book and learn how to be a musical genius.
Wanna play like Coltrane or Miles? Sign up for our 6-week course.
Wynton nailed it. They are now in a position to call anything and everything Jazz. They now control all media associated with music, and they are the sole critics.
Cheers
