    That is complete nonsense.

    This is someone totally ignorant of the music, fabricating a *FABLE* based on his own ignorance. You might as well honestly believe “the Internet is a series of tubes”
    The dumbing down of the populace is an ever-steady march.

    The stated fable/myth is just that: pure, fabricated nonsense.

    I would also like to add: how about discovering that people actually play for the love of the music, not the money and pressure to make radio-friendly music. People that disrespect jazz because it’s unconventional are the worst.
