Rok,  you really should quit while you're only this far behind 🙁.  You're just grabbing at straws now and using the usual convoluted logic.  Please stop digging your hole deeper.  What is the point of comparing a performance by children with all t...

I think it's safe to say that, as far as I can tell, "all" means 2.  Rok, kindly explain how it is that I "have lost the argument"?  Not that I bother with all this to win an argument,  because as you correctly point out the truth always wins and ...

O-10, sorry, but you've got this wrong also.  That is NOT what Rok is saying; I believe that is what you are saying.  He has already given us a list of things that were not stripped (and some he wished were).  But, I don't want to comment to you a...

Rok, why do you dance around this issue? The worst racist is he who sees racism around every corner. Now, no one is suggesting that race doesn’t have an important role in the history of jazz. But, what is at issue here is whether and how THAT VERY...

**** Transport any or all of the players involved in these Jazz ’interviews’ to present day America, and you get an entirely different answer to all the questions. ****Wrong. What they talked about is as accepted today just as it was back then. Yo...

O-10, with all due respect, your logic is flawed. First, who said we had "narrowed it down to bebop"? That’s the first flaw; one cannot discuss jazz with bebop as the "beginning". Moreover, this is not "Wynton’s" point of view; it is a universal p...

O-10, how you or anyone else feels about Wynton's jazz playing has nothing to do with this.  I don't understand what is so difficult about this.  You may feel it doesn't apply to you, but to understand some of this from a more credible stance and ...

The stubborn refusal to accept or even consider this information simply because it flies in the face of what one has mistakenly believed for a long time would actually be a bit humorous if it weren’t so unfortunate and ...... Don’t you ever say to...

Yikes!  X2Re "the information":  the web is an amazing thing; just simple searches required.

Glad to see the interest in this music. Honest question: I would genuinely like to know how it is that some of you process the obvious fact that, probably without exception, every respected jazz historian and musicologist believes and has written ... 
Jazz for aficionados
Everything that I am referring to is musicological and there is a tremendous amount written on the subject and it frankly always surprises me that there is so much misunderstanding about this. I understand that you feel "your kind" of jazz began w...

If course it is. Unless, of course, you believe that every nuance and aspect of a person that can be attributed to his heritage, can be completely erased. I don’t. Besides, the musical proof is there to be heard.

While I am making absolutely NO judgment, one way or the other, about what I think you seem to be suggesting, I need to point out that when I responded "No way", in my mind I was going in a totally different direction. I would suggest that, were O...

**** Universal World Blues ****My point precisely. That is the most beautiful thing about music; no matter the country of origin it ultimately goes to the same place in all us. We tend to forget or fight that truth and sometimes want to make music...
