@brrpclark davis didn't dumb down jazz, he innovated and went in another direction. he opened jazz to a new generation which is what cats like crouch don't get. for example, i wouldn't have discovered sketches of spain if it weren't for early 90s hip hop which relied heavily on jazz samples.

Damn, Crouch, you got burned!

what's natural about the 440 tempered scale... amen

I just don't see how Mtume defeated Crouch. It seems to me that Mtume was looking for excuses for Davis' obvious dumbing-down to sell records. When did Crouch (I haven't heard his every comment) rage against electronic music?
-
miles wasn't planning on playing with Hendrix because Hendrix was fucking Betty. (allegedly)
-
@jsxtal meanwhile Wynton Marsalis can't improvise a fucking thing and plays standards in the most trite, crisp and boring bebop style possible. Wynton Marsalis, Crouch's closest friend, has never played jazz.

Stanley Crouch is a very closed-minded man.
-
@postaflip7 lol! Good one.
-
Miles Davis was just way ahead of his time....

Wow!! Mtume should've spanked him 30 years ago!! They were trailblazers and a deaf man could hear their influences on sound itself in every bit of studio software on the market today. Pro Tools with no computers. F*!#n deep!!
