@leardrum1 phew! You're still not getting it. The question was "Why are most hazards left-wingers. I gave my opinion. You attacked me. How about you ask Charlie Haden, I'm sure you'll get an earful
@punkjazzz Miles Davis was not from the Left, John Coltrane was not an atheist-marxist, Mingus could not care less about some White Lefties hipsters. Actually Jazz is a right wing music in Europe, listened by conservative intellectuals from the Right as Lefties prefer Rap, Bjork, Indie rock or any kind of obscure and sophisticated music. It suites there sense of hype, they want to be on top of the trendy curve in the capitalist musical system...
The antagonism towards African Americans (Largely from people who self-identify with the political right) in the USA is well-documented and persists to this day. To mention it is not nonsense, or living in the past, its the bull in the China shop., I'll go further..... Right wingers love to attack the arts, especially anything that is perceived as avant-garde..,.right wingers love to attack intellectuals...
Remember, the question was Why are most jazzers left-wingers. Get it now?
Jazz is inexorably tied to the African American experience. From Lynchings to jim Crow to Bull Connor to Rush Limbaugh, Right-wingers are antagonistic to that.
probably the video i would watch to complete my life. Haden in action is so beautifully alive.
o-& the politics; right wing politics are concerned with exclusivity. Left wing just INCLUSIVITY. jazz exemplifies INclusivity.
jazz bursts the dam erected by conservatives. (just as Jesus burst the dam erected by the oharasees)

Charlie Haden is one of a kind. Swinging poet with a distinct sound and style.
