***** Everything is conected,and there are so many influences to music, and jazz is not an exception. I dont know why that sound so strange to you, Rok and Orpheus?
For example, if the events around WW2 did not make the largest migration of artists and intellectuals in history, from Europe to US, do you think that American musical culture would be the same today? After all, Stravinsky, Bartok, Schoenberg, Hindemith all went to States, later two taught in universities there.*****
If would be helpful if you would read my posts, and not respond to the straw-men arguments thrown out by The Frogman. I am quite capable of saying what I mean. I have said that all music is a great continuation starting with prehistoric humans.
We just don't buy into the school of thought, that the "European Classical Tradition" is the end all, be all, of human music. It was not Alpha and it sure as hell won't be Omega. Just a bump along the journey.
World War ll:
German and European Classical Music Culture seems to have fared just great since the war. And are you are saying we would not have had folks like: Stravinsky, Bartok,Schoenberg and Hindemith but for the war? If so, we suffered more than I thought as a result of that Damn EUROPEAN war.
Cheers
