  • @Neidhardt84 First of all, the cultural achievements of jazz are CERTAINLY recognized in the U.S., it's just not as popular in general as in Europe. But plenty of Americans are aware of Jazz's impact and take pride in it. Second, the idea that only African-Americans are capable of true Jazz or some variation on that statement is naive at best, and dated stereotyping about racial culture at worst. Please don't try to make that argument in front of your black friends, if you have any.

  • @ArtD42 I think you misunderstood what he really meant to say. In fact, jazz is much more appreciated in Europe than in the US. So many, if not most, American jazz musicians work in Europe on a regular basis because otherwise they wouldn't survive. Despite its influence on most modern music styles, the cultural achievements of jazz have still not been recognized in the US. American jazz musicians are certainly better than Europeans and when I say American, I mean African-American!

  • @briteness Um, says who? If Europeans "get" jazz more than Americans, how come even long past it's heyday, there are still more American jazz artists of note than European jazz artists? I'm not trying to say that American jazz musicians are better than Europeans, but there's no basis for that comment, in my opinion.

  • @voncoolio "all chaos...order...unknown to thee..."

    could it be>?>

  • charnett moffett ??

  • Great stuff, but why do more Europeans seem to 'get' jazz than Americans?

  • and not to mention... a bach cello prelude?

  • Love this!

  • Erf, I just noticed that there are THREE bassists.

  • Sax, two basses (one upright, one electric), and drums. They're awesome!
