Love his music but his bio still makes me give him the *side eye. He really should have left somethings out. Now I see why Prince won't write one. | |

The day that Miles Davis pass away was the day that jazz was "dead" for real.
With that said, f*** you Wynton Marslis and all of the jazz purist pussies alive today that never had the balls to experiment musically as Miles did throughout his career. | |

I like a little bit of Wynton's music (he has one of the best Christmas albums out there), and jazz critics like Stanley Crouch offer a lot of insightful thoughts about the history of jazz. But it doesn't belong in a museum, it was meant to be inventive, and for that matter, re-invented.
I used to take a hard line on "fusion," and "smooth jazz" as well. I detest a lot of so-called smooth jazz. But I also reject the notion that jazz is "dead." To think that is to do exactly what Wynton and his ilk are accused of doing: cutting the genre off.
Jazz is still viable. Acts like the Bad Plus, Robert Glasper, Marc Cary, et al. have claimed places in the genre, and are doing good things. Jazz is kept alive through the best of electronica: Jazzanova's in between, Nuspirit Helsinki, et al. Jazz can't be put on a shelf, and it is not dead. It's largely ignored.

He is the second baddest nigguh that ever walked the planet (El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz is the first.) and the baddest musician who ever lived: Davis then Mozart then Beethoven then Wonder then Coltrane then McCartney then Prince then my brother, former guitarist for the Memorials, Nick Brewer.

Not a big Wynton fan. "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |
