Jazz is so incestuous that it's starting to kill itself.
I'm not going to play funk licks on a jazz album. That makes no sense.
So much of Jazz doesn't have an audience other than music students or musicians.
It's something that jazz has gotten away from, and it's unfortunate. Players aren't physical anymore.
That's kind of like how jazz is sometimes. You're out there predicting the future, and no one believes you.
