@alexatpos , Comments? You said it as well as it can be said.
*******'they were too involved in musical device gleaned from their classical teachers, device that they tried to adapt to the jazz idiom in an attempt to somehow extend its parameter in a wholly mechanical, methodological fashion.*******
That is the HOW, now, the question is, WHY? Why the obsession with making Jazz something, other than what it was?
The WHY will be the most interesting part of all.
Great post as usual from a very insightful observer of Jazz and it's history.
Thanks
Cheers
