I thought Frogman’s 4:50 & 9:18 PM posts from 11/16 well-reasoned, and moderate in tone. Very good job expressing views I share.
Classical music didn’t end at the start of the 20th century even though a work by Bartok is dramatically different than one by Mozart and even though I might loathe some 20th century "classical" music. In similar fashion, I don’t see a reason certain music can’t be called "jazz" just because it differs so much from what came before. Miles or Coltrane sure as heck were not simply recreating stuff they’d grown up with. It’s the constant growth and change that keeps art alive. Want to kill jazz? Put it under glass in a museum and don’t let it change.
On a happier note (for me anyway)....
