Regarding 'the dispute' that is going on...'the very controversial jazz movement on the west coast in the 1950's was a beautiful one in certain musical ways and yet it failed for probably one reason. And that was that there was too litlle of the heart and spirit of the men in their music'....'they were too involved in musical device gleaned from their classical teachers, device that they tried to adapt to the jazz idiom in an attepmpt to somehow extend its parameter in a wholly mechanical, methodological fashion. In their intellectual exuberance they were so intent on doing something different that they overlooked the possibility, that just being themselves would have produced the difference they sought. The whole value to jazz and to themselves would have been much greater and lasting'....these are the words written in 1962.....It seems to me that the same dispute is going on for decades now, from same positions, and that only the name of protagonists have changed.....any comments?
As far as I am concern I realy enjoy listening and finding some long forgotten music, very much like the one that once was considered as 'soulless', but I am sure that that cant be said about it now...example
Above mentioned Jimmy Giuffre, with Modern Jazz Quartet, from 1956.
