Jazz for aficionados

Somebody said that when you go older you start to think that before the politicians were more honest, that prices were more reasonable and that young ones respected their elders. Well, I am 43 and already have that feeling. (except for politicians part)
But, truth to be told, somehow I do think that even in time when jazz was created, there were not many people who were devoted listeners.
Its a great pitty and maybe even a mystery to me, but its just the nature of things. That can be said for many different styles. Rock music is dead too. I am sure it had much more followers than jazz. Other music subgenres are better not to mention. Its same with many other art forms.
Much of ’grumpiness’ here I find to be a part of ’charm’ of this thread, hope everybody are all aware of it and doing it in for fun of it, not for malice

Rok, your comments over time speak for themselves. Your stances are duplicitous and disingenuous and made to fit whatever agenda you feel is necessary at the time. You have often professed to being the "protector" of jazz as just one example. There are two overriding issues here and always have been: 1. You are intolerant of other’s views on what constitutes real jazz; as if you had enough credibility on the subject to dictate that for anyone besides yourself. 2. In the absence of the ability to say much on the subject that goes much beyond the most basic or beyond "what you grew up with", you recoil and attack when others who can do.

On the subject of "elegant" and how you undermine: you obviously have no idea just how frequently musicians use the term "elegant" to describe another player’s style of playing when it suits. That’s the pity in all this, you have now dug your heels in on the subject and keep yourself from learning a small nugget of information. It’s ok if you are not interested in that kind information and always has been. However, when time and time again your constant attack on others’ definition of the music and the way that they express themselves about it (especially when these same people do not attack YOU for your musical preferences) does nothing more than bring negativity and derailment to the proceedings here,  suggests to me that there is more than "fun" at work here and there is indeed some "malice". Sad.

I’ve got news for you, no, we don’t all do that.
