I feel like in 2024 jazz is full of people who are Very Concerned with playing jazz according to the rules and boundaries. The amount of condescending jazz musicians I have met almost approaches the amount of condescending classically trained musicians I have met at this point which is unfortunately saying something.

Obviously a big generalization of diverse and varied artistic movement, but I don’t think jazz even remotely plays the subversive, counter cultural role it used to, it has been far to institutionalized as a genre.

The counter cultural, rule breaking aspects of jazz have mostly moved on to other black american movements of music like hip-hop, rap, and electronic genres etc. Shout out to black american culture for being the driving force behind almost every meaningful musical movement in the US :)

Is Jazz in the room with us?

You're scared by a lack of boundaries.

I'm scared because Herbie Hancock still looks 20.

We are not the same.

Still have to play notes on instruments. Good luck breaking that boundary 😂

Our strongest weapon against the Vulcans.

I wanna milk the nectar from this mfs tiddies

Yes. Lets all listen all notes at the same time and call it music. Then we all can be musicians.

Ya like jazz?

Is this a Howard Moon quote?

Ok, Meta, but is that the correct punctuation? It doesn't look right, but I don't know how I'd change it.

And here I am trying to learn how to play the Banjo.

Jazz is stupid! Just play the right notes!
