[Dixielandjazz] Spanish jazz Fan complains to police - "That's Not Jazz!"

[Alicia Fullbright]

Jeeze I can't believe how people can be. Todays jazz festival offers many forms of jazz. I have been on this list for about 4 years, and we still can't agree on "what is Jazz?" Music is subjective to the listener and their favorite listening patterns. The idea that law inforcement is determining "What is Jazz" is ludicrous. Do we now need "music police"? I think that gentleman needs more help from his mental health provider. I pray for his speedy recovery. Maybe there is a pill for that.

The old "Modern Jazz vs. OKOM vs. Outside Jazz" debate, taken to a higher level, I guess...

(I am well acquainted with  Larry Ochs - I have met him and  played his recordings with R.O.V.A. and other cutting edge jazz ensembles. For sure not OKOM, but the customer knew who he would be seeing at the concert.)
