[Dixielandjazz] What is jazz?

[Brian Harvey]

Phil Wilking wrote......
May I suggest that at least part of the definition refers to what it is NOT.
If the number does not a melody which can be whistled or hummed, it is not
jazz.


Wrong. Jazz is a language.
Any tune can be played in that language.
Understanding the language is the hard part.
