Moving.

That being said, I think it's a bit hypocritical of so many jazz fans to be commenting on this generation's ignorance towards jazz if they are always turning it against rap music. If jazz fans have no capacity for the appreciation of the new music and no desire to explore or immerse themselves with the music, its history and its culture, why should they expect younger rap fans to open up to this music? Surely both genres have their classic artists and albums that are worth exploring.

They'll be be old bitter hippies because they rejected the best foundations of a musical form that started all of these musical forms. Jazz is the author of R&B, Soul, Rock and Roll and Hip Hop. They reject the root and they'll reject themselves. And young people need to stop thinking that criticism is bashing. Take the critiques and you might learn something. Folks weren't afraid to check our behinds when we were wrong and young people today are making a fatal mistake rejecting sound wisdom.

[Gerald Johnson]

And I will not give young people an excuse not to love this music. Why? because I grew loving music that came out before I was born. Iove the jazz of Duke Ellington, Colunt Basie and Ella Fitzgerald. I was born in the 1960s. Just because a musical form came out long before you were born doesn't mean you reject it on GP. I didn't. The young people today are making the same silly mistake the young people of the 60s did-throwing the baby out with the bath water. They'll be bitter old hippies too.

[Gerald Johnson]

You make a valid point but check this out There has ben and there is now a concerted effort to dumb down the music and it has been dumbed down. The hip hop today and the hip hop of the 80s and 90s is different. This hip hop today is packaged by the corporate elite and the soul taken out of it! It's actually dead! I don't listen to the garbage. Lil Wayne can't hold a candle to the best of hip hop nor jazz. Hip hop today isn't really hip hop. It's a joke. A criminal joke!
